[SOLVED]: Weird font issues with infinality-bundle on upgrade

Ive been using the infinality-bundle for some time with no problem until a recent update, and it seems like all my fonts got replaced with stranger ones.  Below is a screenshot of my font problem and a snippet from my pacman.log.

The recent Infinality update requires a uninstall/install of fontconfig.  I posted the same problem here:

  • [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).

  • [SOLVED] Weird pacman issue with wine

    Good Morning Community,
    I'm on X86_64. I've just brought a system out of the ground from a differnt distro. Arch is up and running well.

  • [Solved] Weird font glitches with current xfce 4 desktop

    I have the problem that my desktop currently looks like this:
    http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/208/deskn.png/
    So the fonts are there, but they not displayed correctly. This problem occurs with different users, clean home directories and apparently independently of the font-related parts in xorg.conf. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    you fixed your problem my updating xf86-video-nouveau and NOT by reinstalling cairo.

  • 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 with InDesign and OS 10.6

    I have read quite a bit on this but have found no resolution. We installed OS 10.6 on two of our three G5 Macs at work. We use InDesign CS4 and OS 10.6.5.
    When we open an InDesign file that we all share, the machines with 10.6 on it say fonts are missing. (I believe this is a naming convention problem.) I learned that some of the fonts for InDesign should be moved to the InDesign font folder. We did that. That helped on several of the fonts. However, we still have an issue with Helvetica Neue, and Universe (67 or other numbers). I have the same Universe font family listed, but when I go to find 67 or 47, they aren't there.
    Anyone else having this problem? Do we need to go in to every document and change the fonts to avoid this error? Is there a better fix?

    I have just swapped from an old Mac Mini (using 10.4.11) to the new Mac Mini (using 10.6.6). I did not do any fiddling about fonts. Everything is as it installs. The only thing I did is to resolve duplicate fonts in Font Book.
    For convenience, I used Arial for documents. Now when I open an ID document, it says Arial[TT] (as well as bold, italic...) is missing. I checked the Arial ttf group is in /Library/Fonts, but in ID font list, it shows an Open type.
    All I want is that the fonts should work, when I open all the InDesign documents (still in CS2 Version) that I created since last five years. I am no techie by any means, what I need is a step-to-step to solve the font issue, so that I can get on work immediately.
    Any concrete step-to-step advice is highly appreciated.

  • Font issue with left sidebar in Mail

    I'm having perhaps another/different font issue with Mail after updating to Snow Leopard.
    I do have a Dell 24" LCD hooked up to my MBP. I've noticed the comments/links related to the font smoothing issues. I've played around with that with no noticeable change.
    Check out the before & after pics. Anyone have thoughts?

    Same issue here whenever I'm using a different color profile. Only the default color profile seems to work properly with the new sidebar in mail.

  • Odd font issue with Safari, iWeb

    Ok, so I've been having this odd font issue with Safari for quite a while now, and I haven't been able to fix it. Some text on several different websites come up in a different font than the default font for Safari. I've tried changing the default font to something else, changing the text encoding and nothing. This has been happening with several releases of Safari.
    Now, last night I discovered the same thing is happening with iWeb. Some of the text fields come up with the same font as the one in Safari! I don't even know which font it is. So somehow these are linked.
    I'm at work right now, but I can get a screen shot of the font once I get home.
    Any ideas on how to remedy this?

    Hi Tom, thanks for the response. I tried searching for those two fonts in my font book and they weren't in there. See below for screen shots of the odd text I'm getting:
    iWeb
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    Safari
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    If anyone can help resolve I'd greatly appreciate it. As much as I like Safari, this odd font makes me close Safari after a few mins of browsing =\

  • I am having font issues with font book. It validates the font, yet it is not availabe in my software programs (Adobe  or Microsoft). What can I do to use these fonts?

    I am having font issues with font book. It validates the font, yet it is not availabe in my software programs (Adobe  or Microsoft). What can I do to use these fonts?
    I actually created these fonts with fontagrapher in 1998 and have been using them regularly ever since and now they are not available in InDesign. I really need to use them.

    I found a page on Adobe, Troubleshoot fonts | Mac OS X
    On PostScript type 1 fonts you need to copy/move the fonts to the correct font folder because Font Book doesn't copy them into the folder. Select the fonts double-click the fonts and Find in the font Book app and validate.
    The correct font folder depends how you are set up. I am by myself so my font folder was MyHarddrive/Library/Fonts. I was using Suitcas fusion and the fonts are located in a different folder.
    Most of the fonts have worked. Go to

    This should help. Good Luck.

  • I was having issues with firefox so I upgraded to firefox 4. I am connected to the internet but when I open firefox or even internet explorer it says Unable to connect problem loading page. Nothing will pull up!!! No help link or anything!!?

    I was having issues with firefox so I upgraded to firefox 4. I am connected to the internet but when I open firefox or even internet explorer it says Unable to connect problem loading page. Nothing will pull up!!!

    I don't know if you are still having the issue but if you are have you contacted your ISP? It sounds to me like it's more of a connectivity issue than a browser problem. I've dealt with similar things several times and in both cases it was something with the modem or an ISP setting.
    I'm also wondering if it could be a Wi-Fi issue. Can you log in to your router? (It varies by brand but you would go to a site such as http://192.168.10.1. That is for Trendnet. The information for yours should be in the documentation that came with it.)
    You should be able to get the router log in page to come up even if you can't connect to any websites. (Provided the network is set up correctly.)
    I also would double check your connection settings (if you're connecting over Wi-Fi) or your ethernet connection. (If you're connected directly to the modem and router.)
    Hopefully one of these suggestions will be helpful.

  • Fonts issue with Photoshop CS2

    I'm not sure if my thread in the right forum, but I'm really having an issue with the fonts. It started when I installed MS Office for Mac, Safari was having problems with the fonts. So I referred to one of the posts in the Discussions and I used Font Finagler 0.5.3 to remove the cache fonts, and I deleted few fonts from Font Book, and deleting the fonts solved my issue with Safari. I'm not using Office any more, As I deleted the software.
    Now, I've Installed Photoshop CS2, update it with the latest updates available. But I'm having an issue with the fonts! The issue is affecting only the Palette Names in the Palette Well, where the font size seems to be larger than its corresponding tab.
    In order to fix the problem, I tried to temporary remove the Fonts folder from the library, restart my MAC, but nothing happen, except error messages of missing fonts in iWork!
    I'm wondering if anyone has faced similar problem, or if there is any solution for such an issue.

  • Fontographer PS fonts issue with Yosemite

    I have created a number of PS fonts (.otf) with Fontagrapher 5. They have been working flawlessly ever since on my MacBook Air (mid 2012) 8GB RAM and 512GB SSD.
    Since moving yesterday from Mavericks to Mac OS X Yosemite, things are terrible. All fonts created with Fontographer are not displaying and printing correctly …. my 6 indian music books and numerous documents  in hindi/english diacritical are thus unusable. I tried with Nisus Writer Pro, Text Edit and Mellel to no avail.
    Checking with the Apple software FontBook, it says all my Fontographer Fonts are « usable » (green ok check) and that there is no conflict/problem. To be sure, I removed all factory fonts which could potentially make problems (orange warning), rebooted the Mac but, despite that, nothing works properly. Fonts are incredibly SCRETCHED on display (space between characters is huge) and some of them don't print as they are displayed. I also naturally updated the printer  (Xerox Work Center 6605 DN) driver to the latest Yosemite compatible version (oct.16, 2014) but that doesn't change anything. I also tried different ways of making pdf from the different word processors but the same thing occured on pdf.
    Please, kindly check and inquire about this important issue with Apple fonts experts. Number of us, using Fontographer Fonts, must be facing the same incompatibility with Yosemite.
    Please do let me know what I can do to solve the problem. I don't even know how I can downgrade to Maverick yet.
    Thanking you in advance for a quick reply
    Patrick MOUTAL

    Well, Kurt Lang did solve my problem and I won't ever be enough thankful to him. He tried one of my font and took the time to examine it with FontLab Studio. In case other persons experiment the same type of troubles, I am pasting the mail I got (along with the corrected font) for info :
    Hi Patrick,
    I did find one issue in particular. OpenType fonts should have a UTM setting of 1000. These were at 2048. So I changed those and had FontLab Studio rebuild the names (I just let it do its thing).
    The originals you had sent wouldn’t even appear in Office 2011. The rebuilt ones do, though for whatever reason, bold italic won’t show. However, you can click the italic and bold buttons and the correct font is used. Otherwise, the new fonts all work as expected in Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, TextEdit and others. I tested them in both Mavericks and Yosemite.
    Can’t guarantee success, but give these a shot.
    Kurt
    That guy is an angel. He spent a tremendous amount of time examining, testing on Mavericks and Yosemite and on several apps until resolving the problem. Too helpful, too nice and too competent. That's a treat.

  • Weird screen issues with safari

    Hi, I just got a refurbished 15" macbook pro...not retina, but I believe it's a 2012 model.  I'm experiencing a couple weird issues with it.  So far, they seem to be exclusive to Safari, but I'm not sure yet.  Haven't been able to recreate the same problems in Chrome or other programs.  The problems are:
    1)  When filling text into a blank or box...as in a google search, or typing a facebook message, the text I am typing will often disappear or be invisible until i move the cursur to someplace else...then the text will show up.  Words at a time can be invisible.  Like I said, so far, I'm only noticing this in Safari, not Chrome, but I'll have to test with Chrome some more to know for sure.
    2)  Sometimes portion of a page will be misplaced on the screen.  For example, if I'm on Safari, and reading a news story, the left side of the page will look normal, and the right side of the page will look normal, but they won't match in the middle....I'll be seeing text from the beginning of the article one the left side, but from the end on the right side as though only part of the page is able to scroll.  Again, this is only in Safari so far. 
    Both these issues (which I assume are related) have been happening since the first day I got the computer last week and it hasn't been dropped or had anything spilled on it or anything.  I'm well within the warranty period, but this problem may be hard to recreate immediately if I bring it in to a store, so I want to check here first and see if anybody has any ideas. 
    I'm hoping this is a simple known bug with Safari that will eventually be fixed and not a problem with my new computer.  It is enough to have me second guessing my decision to go with a refurbished model, but I'm probably just paranoid.  I'd appreciate any info that anyone has.  Thanks!!!

    I could suggest a reset, but I don't believe that will do much good.
    First, I would contact your local Apple Store, should you be near one, and see if the Genius Bar can solve the problem quickly.
    Second, if they require repairs, you can use their expertise; or, you can use iPod Juice - a business that's more competitive. The latter is where I had my repairs done; email them for fees and services.

  • Weird Font Issues

    Hello, just got an iMac 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo today, and after migrating all of my stuff over from my G5 I noticed the font for certain pages in safari and ichat was weird, and I can't figure out how to get it back. I had this problem a while back on my G5 but don't remember how I solved it. I have a picture to show what the font looks like.
    http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v213/JustinEvil/font.jpg

    Justin, Try the following:
    1) Quit all open applications.
    2) If you have 'Helvetica Fractions', 'Times Phonetic' or 'Rougue Stencil-Type' fonts installed, delete them.
    3) Delete your fonts caches with *Font Finagler*, FontNuke or OnyX +(or with whatever utility you normally use)+
    *Font Finagler <http://homepage.mac.com/mdouma46/fontfinagler/> (this is the BEST utility)*
    FontNuke <http://www.jamapi.com/pr/fn/>
    OnyX <http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs/english.html>
    4) Restart your Mac
    5) Open your Font Book->Edit menu 'Select All' fonts - from the File menu select 'Validate Fonts'
    from the Edit menu select 'Resolve Duplicates'
    Good luck,
    Tom
