[SOLVED] Fonts in the chromium UI are garbled

Hi,
Fonts in the chromium UI are garbled like this:
Pop-up menus are also garbled.
Does anyone out there know how this could happen?
The problem makes my favorite web browser almost unusable, as I cannot see what I'm typing and cannot read the UI menus. Navigating becomes sort of like walking through a room blindfolded.
I have searched google and these forums but did not encounter the exact same problem elsewhere.
Since this is the first time I have encountered this, and this happened on quite a fresh install on a laptop, I might resort to another clean install and not install the unused theming stuff I have installed now (and that I didn't keep track of). I suspect this has something to do with GTK and Pango but I'm not quite sure..
But, if anyone has a suggestion..
Thanks!
## UPDATE
I solved the issue by installing google-chrome-dev from the AUR. First, my intention was just to see whether I would have the same problem with regular chrome. I did, but I also noticed something when I looked at the console output: fontconfig was throwing an error.
So I looked at my fontconfig version, and saw that it was fontconfig-git. I didn't need that to be the git version so I downgraded to fontconfig. After that everything was back to normal. So, there is some evidence that google-chrome-dev, chromium and chromium-dev do not work well tied to fontconfig-git. I am now a happy camper

Ui fonts in dartium (chromium-fork) are invisible

Hello,
my dartium renders webpages correctly, but ui fonts (address-bar, tabs, menus,...) are not shown. I can select the text and copy paste it. During the selection the blue background is correctly shown.
chromium and chrome work fine.
I have tried starting dartium in a fresh user and still have the same problem.
kde (5.2) / gnome didn't change anything.
I even tried to change the rendering backend for the compositor to xrender.
If I am not mistaken chromium gets its font from:
gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface font-name
'Cantarell 11'
I do have this font installed (and changing didn't help).
I have found some reports about broken fonts where reinstalling fontconfig did help.
Didn't help in my case. I do use the infinality-bundle! (fontconfig-infinality-ultimate).
any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Opening a legacy file in CC2014, the fonts in the file (which are loaded and accessible with Suitcase Fusion 6), won't display. I get the [Jensen text] font name indicating a missing font file. YET, when I make a new file, the fonts are available. Any ide

Okay, that was a long title. Sorry about that.
Longer version now. The font Janson Text is an old Type 1 Postscript font. If I make a new document in InDesign CC2014, this font is completely available to me. HOWEVER, if I open a legacy file that uses this same font, it shows up with the usual pink highlighting.
I know the font is available to InDesign, because I made a new test document and set type with it.
If I try using the Type > Find Font.. option to replace the 'missing' typefaces, InDesign won't let me, not recognizing the font that I just used in the new test document.
I just tried exporting the defective file as an IDML file, then opening the IDML file. The font is now working properly.
This is a real problem, as the file I'm trying to open is a book that we need to reprint. I now have to go through it page by page to see if any linebreaks have changed.
WHAT CAUSES THIS, please?

There is one way its getting fixed. Once I update my Adobe Illustrator CC to Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 it is further allowing me to go into the system folder and allocate the font to the file so that it can replace it. My only concern now is that our MAC partners who will receive these files back from us have Adobe CS6. We will down save it to CS6 but I hope they won't experience any font issues because of us using CC 2014? Any light you can shed on this?

[SOLVED] Files in the /tmp directory are being deleted

Hi,
I've been using Arch Linux for four weeks, but have now come across a problem which I can't fix after trying to search for a solution (and also checking to see if anyone also had the same problem). I would appreciate any help you can give.
A few days ago the web browsers I use (chromium and opera) lost their profile settings, and I had to set the profiles. This kept happening and the indicator of the problem was that I use profile-sync-daemon for both web browsers, which uses the /tmp directory. I then started noticing that a file I created in /tmp disappeared which pointed me to the fact that something was cleaning up the /tmp directory (this seems to happen hourly).
A quick search led me to systemd-tmpfiles and the /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/tmp.conf file. I have not modified the file, and if I have read it correctly only files in the /tmp directory that are more than 10 days old are deleted. I boot every day, so no files should be deleted by systemd-tmpfiles (unless I've misunderstood tmpfiles.d).
Here is the tmp.conf file anyway:
$ cat /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/tmp.conf
# This file is part of systemd.
# systemd is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it
# under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License as published by
# the Free Software Foundation; either version 2.1 of the License, or
# (at your option) any later version.
# See tmpfiles.d(5) for details
# Clear tmp directories separately, to make them easier to override
d /tmp 1777 root root 10d
d /var/tmp 1777 root root 30d
# Exclude namespace mountpoints created with PrivateTmp=yes
x /tmp/systemd-private-*
x /var/tmp/systemd-private-*
X /tmp/systemd-private-*/tmp
X /var/tmp/systemd-private-*/tmp
The /etc/tmpfiles.d directory is empty, so /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d is the only location for the tmpfiles.d config files:
$ ls /etc/tmpfiles.d/
$
Here is the list of packages I upgraded/installed for the last few days. systemd 207-3 seems the likeliest candidate, but I have not come across any reports about the problem I am having.

I think I have found the problem.
There was a gnome update earlier in the week. gnome-settings-daemon runs an hourly housekeeping job. I had set the "Automatically Purge Temporary Files" in the Privacy tab when setting up my laptop last month.
gnome-settings-daemon has decided to delete files in the /tmp directory (I can trigger this by clicking "Purge Temporary files" which then deletes my files in the /tmp directory). This does not happen in the previous gnome-settings-daemon. Anyway, I'll mark the thread SOLVED if my file in the /tmp directory survives the hour!

[SOLVED] Fonts different in Chromium and Firefox

I've installed all the microsoft fonts by copying over the TTF files from a windows installation, and as you can see, the fonts work in Firefox but not Chromium.
How can I configure Chromium to use the MS fonts correctly? In Chromium settings I have Arial set as my default Sans-serif font but it doesn't seem to work correctly. Clearly the font is installed because Firefox is using it and I can select it as my default font in Chromium

I finally worked out what the issue is. When I pasted the fonts in /usr/share/fonts and ran fc-cache -vf I pasted as root (because /usr/share/fonts isn't writeable by other users) but I never set the permissions on the files themselves! running chmod * 755 on in the /microsoft/ directory I created then fc-cache -vf solved the issue!

[SOLVED] Fonts And The Linux Console

I love the Tamsyn font, which I have been using in X, but I was wondering if this font can be used in the framebuffer console as well. Is this possible or is Tamsyn in a format that won't work for the console?
Thanks in advance.

Multi-byte characters are garbled in SQL Server Business Intelligent Development Studio (Visual Studio) 2008

Hi,
I'm revising an existing report which was developed by my predecessor. Though it works fine in the production environment, when I open the .rdl file with SQL Server Business Intelligent Studio (Visual Studio) 2008 on my client
PC, I find all the multi-byte characters are garbled. When I open it with the BIDS (the same version) on the server, it shows everything correctly.
The fonts for the controls (labels) are Tahoma and it's originally only for alphabets, but multi-byte characters are supposed to be displayed in MSGOTHIC by Font Link as they are displayed correctly on the server.
Could anyone advise me how to solve this issue? I know I can fix it by changing the fonts from Tahoma to MSGOTHIC for all the contrls, but I don't want to do it.
Environment:
My PC：Windows7 64bit /Visual Studio 9.0.30729.1 / .NET Framework 3.5 SP1
Server：Windows Server 2003 R2 /Visual Studio 9.0.30729.1 / .NET Framework 3.5 SP1
Garbled characters sample:
FontLink - SystemLink
Please let me know if you need any more information. I would appreciate your advice!

Hi nino_miya,
According to your description, when you display the report in client side, characters are garbled.
In your scenario, please check if the Language is the same as the report on production server. Also please check if the data of Tahoma in registry on client PC is the same as server. If those two settings are the same, please specify font of the each
control as MSGOTHIC manaually on client PC.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best regards,

Polish characters are garbled during PDF conversion

Hi,
I am facing problem with polish characters while converting spool to pdf in smartform. I have configured the new printer with device type I2SWIN with respective codepage. The preview of pdf in SAP is fine but when it is sent as an attachment in email or converted through program RSTXPDFT4, the polish characters are garbled.
I have already searched SDN for this but didnt find any soolution pertaining to my problem.
Please suggest a solution.
Regards
Abhimanyu.

Hello,
Is your system a unicode system?
If so perhaps the Cascading Fonts might be useful for you (see SAP note 812821).
Cascading Font means that the PDF converter checks each character
of the text. For each character it determines the Unicode
character range, to which the character belongs. After this
it checks the SAP font name and determines, which PDF font
shall be used for this SAP font and the Unicode character range.
(see SAP note 999712)
You should get and install the device type SWINCF from note 812821, as
it is described in note 812821 (you must first apply the latest code
correction of note 812821).
Regards,
David

Fax output - Chinese characters are garbled

Hello,
We are using fax output for two forms ( One smartform and the othe sap script). Both the form outputs are thorugh the same fax device. For the smartform output there are no issues and the output is as expected but for the sap script output the chinese characters are garbled.

Why are the fonts in the fillable fields changing in reader?

Hello, I created a fillable pdf in acrobat. When I open the pdf in reader on my iPad the fonts in the fillable fields change. It is throwing off the fields and things don't line up correctly. I can't figure out how to correct the problem or why it's happening in the first place. Also, the fields behave differently in preview on my Mac. The fonts are correct but the placement is off. Any help would be awesome! Thanks.

Solved it! I went back into acrobat and locked the appearance of all my text fields. Everything now appears as it should in reader. Still have no idea why I needed to do that?

EVERYTHING in the browser is smaller, fonts, menus, icons, web page content, pictures, tables, etc. I have set the minimum font in the settings and the text is just to a point where it is easily readable at the maximum size setting, but all the menus and icons are still tiny and hard to read. The last version I had installed worked fine with no add-ons needed. Everything fit the screen fine and was easily readable without modification. I want this version off my PC and I want the last version I had back on but I dont know what version it was!!!!!!! ARARGGGG
In fact, this stupid troubleshooting window that I am in filling out this form doesnt fit the page right at all, and edges of the text are cut off, so Im not even sure what some of these boxes are asking for!!

*Try to adjust the DPI setting, see http://kb.mozillazine.org/layout.css.dpi
*Try to set the pref layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to 2 on the about:config page.
To open the ''about:config'' page, type '''about:config''' in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.
If you need to increase (or decrease) the font size on websites then look at:

How do I change the fonts on the main page.My fonts have recently changed without my doing anything. They are like 6 point instead of the 12 I am used to. Email font is now huge. Is this an ATT/Yahoo problem or Firefox. Safari fonts seem to be o.k.

How do I change the fonts on the home page? They recently shrank from 12 to very tiny..(6 pt?). I did nothing to change them, but after the event tried to change them using "preferences-Fonts"which had no effect. ATT seems to have made a change in their email. The fonts in the email are now huge (18 pt?). This could be an ATT/Yahoo problem with Mac, although Safari seems to be working o. k.

Jim, extensions are also add-ons. Add-ons include extensions, themes and plugins.
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you need to make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

You can set up a temporary button (or link, bookmark, etc.) and add the following JavaScript action:
// Mouse Up script for a temporary button (or bookmark, etc.)
// Change the font and font size for all text fields in this document
for (var i = 0; i < numFields; i += 1) {
    var f = getField(getNthFieldName(i));
    if (f.type === "text") {
        f.textFont = font.Helv;
        f.textSize = 9;
It also sets the font size, but you can remove that line if you don't need to do that.

When opening a word document, I get this:The table of contents is empty because none of the paragraph styles selected in the Document Inspector are used in the document. Is there a way to solve this?

Hmmm. Apply the styles?
