Some fonts have become tiny and pale blue

Example: When I view my online banking, my personal information is presented in a tiny font, which is also too pale to read, pale blue. When I am ordering something online, the fill-in boxes and what I type in them are tiny and pale blue. When I shopped on Drugstore.com, I had to read with a magnifying glass about their products. I have cleaned the registry and tried to find ways to adjust the font, but since not everything on the desktop is tiny and pale blue, I 've had no effect at all. Incoming email is fine, as is outgoing email. Word documents are fine.

Check the default font and color settings (screenshot: [[Some text shows up bold after upgrade]])

    Well now it is even more important that you provide some details as to what is happening. We were merely taking guesses, so we need feedback now.

    My windows/test have become enlarged and no longer fit the display?  I'm using an IMAC 7.1 with MAC OS X 10.4.11

    Thanks for your help.  I'm using a magic mouse.  The scroll facility doesn't work with the operating system, I have to scroll using the scroll bars.  Is there anything else I can do.

  • My fonts have become unreadable since last night. How do I fix them?

    This is a new problem, and I noticed a couple other people posted about it yesterday. I am having great difficulty reading text on most of the websites I visit. The fonts look like bleeding ink, and in many cases the letters look like they have small holes. I checked my font settings, and tried changing each thing one at a time, and since nothing made a difference I put everything back the way it was. I had set some font settings myself, and I thought maybe I should try the default fonts but can't find what they are.
    Does this have anything to do with an update? The only thing I'm certain of is that I had a Windows update yesterday. I've uploaded a screen shot of some text, but it doesn't look the same in the capture as it appears on the website.

    Guigs2: I marked your solution as unsolved only because I'm not sure how safe it is to uninstall a security update. I'm using Windows Vista SP2 and not ready to upgrade my computer until after they're done with Windows 8. I can't find anything that tells me whether it would be safe. Oddly enough this does not affect Microsoft's own IE. I just don't like it.

  • Some fonts have wrong "internal names," won't display properly in font menu

    Several fonts which I have acquired over the years have a peculiar but bothersome problem.
    The fonts' "file names" in the Finder are perfectly fine, and the files are named what they're supposed to be named. And when the fonts are "installed," they work perfectly fine in all applications, as they are supposed to. But here's the problem: the fonts are mis-named in each application's "font menu." In my case, most of the font names (which are of the standard English alphabet and have standard English font titles) instead appear listed as a long string of Chinese characters.
    As a random example, a font called "Holiday Ranch" made by FontDiner is not listed alphabetically between "Hoefler" and "Impact" in my font menus, where it ought to be, but instead is listed at the end of the font menu list, after "Zapfino," as a long string of Chinese characters. This wouldn't be such a problem if there were only one or two fonts misnamed this way, but when (as I do) you have 25 fonts at the bottom of your font list, all of which are long strings of incomprehensible characters, then it becomes a problem indeed.
    The fonts come from a variety of sources, so it can't be a flaw in just one company's coding. I contacted (as per the example above) FontDiner, but so far they have no response. But for other mis-named fonts in my collection, I don't even know who designed them or where they came from, so I can't ask the designer for a solution.
    Keep in mind that all of the fonts work perfectly fine, once I've tracked them down in the big morass of hard-to-find misnamed fonts at the bottom of my font menus. They work in all Apple applications like TextEdit, they work in Adobe products like Illustrator, they work in MSWord -- they work everywhere. The only issue is the naming.
    Also, the file names are all correct. In the example above, the file name for "Holiday Ranch" is "Holiday Ranch.ttf". And when I inspect the font with Linotype's "FontExplorer X," it is listed properly as "Holiday Ranch." But here's the key: When I open the font file in Apple's "Font Book" (v.2.2.1), the name is indeed listed there as a long string of Chinese characters, and when I install it onto my computer using Font Book, it unfortunately uses that name.
    I've tried downloading a wide variety of "font tool" programs, but none have been able to fix this problem.
    I also tried (using FontExplorer X) "Cleaning system font caches" and "Cleaning application font caches" and restarting, but that had no effect whatsoever. I don't think it's an error on the part of OSX, I think that the fonts are simply misnamed internally, or that something went awry when the font designer converted the fonts from one format to another, or something like that.
    I think the simplest solution would be to just re-name the fonts internally. But how? I can't find a way to do it. Even the optimistically-named freeware program "Font Renamer" did not change the internal names.
    Has anyone else ever experienced this problem, and if so, how can it be fixed? Thanks.

    As for free downloads to play with: unfortunately, the FontDiner ones are all commercial and thus not free...
    They do have some free fonts. At the bottom of the first page (after the lead in page), click the "Free Silverware" link at the bottom. The fonts that come up on that page are all free.
    I downloaded four of those fonts at random. All work as expected. That doesn't prove though that the Holiday Ranch font doesn't have something wrong with it.
    Kurt, as I noted above, I already did empty all font cache files and restart. Unfortunately, that did not fix the problem.
    Oops! Sorry, missed that.
    So I think the problem is not that there's anything wrong with my OS, but rather that the person who made the font simply goofed when giving it a name!
    It seems to point that way, but you're seeing the issue across fonts from different vendors. I would believe it's either the OS, or Font Book itself.
    Your tagline shows you're running 10.6.4. Download and reinstall the 10.6.4 Combo updater. It's surprising how many problems go away when applying the combos.

  • Some fonts have disappeared..?

    I have been using CS4 Illustrator for a year now on my laptop.  Recently my laptop had to be taken to a repair shop.  All of my software was wiped whilst the laptop was being serviced.  Last week I reinstalled Adobe CS4 suite back onto my laptop, however, some of the fonts that I used to have are now not there anymore (such as 'OCR Extended').  A lot of my work for university has been created in these fonts that I now do not have and so my work will not open properly.  I am not sure how to get them back?  I have tried unistalling, using the clean script and then reinstalling again and that did not work.  Any help would be much appreciated!  I am rubbish on computers and my deadline for my work is on January 12th!  Thank you.

    These fonts are not standard system fonts. They were most likely added by another app or you installed them manually at some point. For OCR A and B, the old Bitstream versions are installed by CorelDraw for instance. Without knowing which app it actually was, though, your best option is to track them down using font sites such as DaFont.

  • Missing some fonts in CS 5 and Lion...

    Installed OS X Lion. I have my own version of Helvetica with special kerning pairs in the screen fonts dating back to that by-gone era. Both the Helteticas supplied by Apple and my "Agency Fit" fonts used to show in the font menu. Now, only mine do (which is betther than only Apple's showing!). Both fonts show in Illustrator. One more thing...I seem to only be able to select Helvetica Medium...Regular seems to be gone from both program's menus. If I disable one of the fonts with Font Book, the other will show up in the menu.
    I'm using CS 5.
    Is there a place I can submit this as a bug on Adobe's site? (I know, Apple is responsible for this... Still, Illustrator seems to be okay, InDesign is not.)

    Interesting trick, Steve. Thank you!
    For what it is worth, here is what is happening now.
    In Apple's Font Book, it appears that although both Helveticas are shown as on, that is, both are black text, the font with the yellow caution symbol is also listed as inactive (in the Information pane). So, it appears that Apple is attempting to resolve duplicates on its own and is using the user's fonts over their own.
    In InDesign, I only have access to my fonts, not the System's duplicates. I suppose I could try making duplicates of the System fonts and putting them the InDesign font folder if I really wanted both...
    In Ilustrator, I see two Helveticas listed, as I would want. But, only the first one sticks; that is, the check mark next to the font always remains on the top font, never allowing me to select the second font, from the Options bar. But! if I go to the main menu at the top of the screen and select Type > Font > Helvetica, I can choose either Helvetica, even though Font Book indicated that one is inactive.
    Like I said, for what it is worth...

  • TS1502 I have an ipad and a blue screen has appeared.....what should be done to get the ipad to work again.

    My ipad is displaying a blue screen.  I have tried to reboot but nothing is happening, it keeps displaying the blue screen.  How can this be fixed so I can use my ipad again

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

  • NMH410 some files have become inaccessible

    The hardware: brand-new NMH410 with two WD 1TB drives, configured as RAID-1.
    The firmware: 3.18.15.
    The clients: Linux 2.6.31 kernel, Kubuntu Karmic Koala
    Over the past days I've copied over my media library to the NMH410 ... so far so good.
    This day I face the strange situation that I get access denied to several files in my media/music subdirectories. I can see from my Linux clients that the files exist and I can also see that they should be readable. However, whenever I try to access these files, I get access denied.
    Using the flash-based browser I can access these files, copy them around, et cetera. However, if I do make copies, then I cannot access these copies either. Seems to consistently getting the wrong access rights in the NMH410.
    Resetting to factory defaults did not help either. Cleared the browser cache, reloaded. Disconnected SMB clients, attached them anew ... problem still persists. Most files are accessible, quite some audio files aren't anymore.
    What am I doing wrong here? I'm totally dazzled.

    The router isn't involved at all as the traffic is kept inhouse and traverses just a switch; plain level 2 business, no layer 3 involved. Rebooting linux (the kernel you mean?) is not required as the CIFS is nowadays more or less run in user space, if I remember correctly. Dropping mounts cleans up. No reboot or session logout required. Even almost all software package updates, even if they are concerning system daemons and libraries, are done without any reboot. Win7 has an extremely long road to travel to come even close. I have reasons to only use Linux. In office I get paid to loose time with XP. At home I want to be effective.
    Oh, and as support was stubborn to insist on windows I grabbed my office laptop with WinXP and gave it a fresh try. Guess what: same result, who could have expected? You know, SAMBA is nowadays better in terms of compatibility between different SMB/CIFS protocol, server, and client versions than microsoft itself. In fact, SAMBA servers and clients on Linux are better at working around errors in Microsofts implementations than Microsofts code. No wonder that Microsoft is not able to document SMB properly, only the SAMBA project has delivered so far.
    Together with a support person we found out that the NMH 410 is slowly killing itself by assigning wrong user/group ids to inodes -- well, basically I found that out and the support then more or less agreed and acknowledged. However, Linksys has no idea why the NMH is doing this. I got the advice to backup everything to a locally attached USB disk -- the only thing that worked at this point --, then to delete all files and to copy the files back.
    While the backup procedure worked successfully, copying back resulted in complete desaster which even rendered the shared without access! The NMH 410 was, for whatever reason, changing ownership of the share directories to 0/0, thus rendering access impossible to the SAMBA server process. It seems that the webserver is running under root, arrrrgh! Bad design!
    The next support person told me to remove the eSATA disks and to reformat them -- he probably meant to kill any partition setup. He didn't care about that I don't have any eSATA bays and interfaces at hand and don't want to drive to a shop just to buy then in order to get the self-hanging unit to work again. After he refused to help and insisted on me having to reformat the drives outside the NMH 410 I ignored his ignorance and phoned Syslink support.
    The worked better and I was quickly told to try to completely reset the unit by powering off for more than 30s, then pressing reset and powering up, yet holding reset for more than 30s. I was told this should put the unit into disk repartition/reformat mode. Tried that two times, but the NMH 410 just came up (as expected) with only some settings reset, but the file system untouched and with the wrong owner/group settings. Still no access.
    It seems that the problems started when I put the NMH 410 the second day after I purchased it from RAID-0 to RAID-1 with some data already on it. Thus, I put the unit back to single disc use, which causes the file system to be generated anew. This seems to be the only way to do it; two support persons didn't know this, only the third one was aware of this method albeit he suggested the non-working 30s reset procedure.
    Finally converted the disks with the fresh file system to RAID-1 ... well, still waiting for the conversion to finish. After that will have finished, I will try to restore some files from the FAT32 USB disk, using FTP as suggested (eeek!). We will see.
    After all the years this is the first Linux system I have come across that it killing access to it by randomly assigning wrong user/group ownerships to inodes. This seems to have required brilliant craftmenship by Linksys to make Linux behave in such a braindead manner. My confidence in Linksys and especially this product has totally gone away. Support is awful.

  • Project screen when exported and burned becomes tiny

    Hello,
    I am working on a project in Adobe Encore CS4. The project appears to be fine when we preview in the program, though there is a thin black border around it. When we export it and burn it to a dvd something changes. We play it on regular dvd player and tv and the picture becomes tiny and there is a huge black border around it. My boss and I cannot for the life of us figure out what setting is causing this. My boss has done projects before and not had this problem. We have compared previous projects to this one and can't find any settings that are different. Any help you can offer would be appreciated.

    This is aimed at Premiere Pro, but may help

  • Mangal Fonts and Tunga Fonts in (MS Home and Student 2010) Word 2010 not getting converted into PDF

    Why do I get a totally blank PDF file whenever I try to convert any (Microsoft Office Home and Student 2010, Version: 14.0.6029.1000) Word document file containing either Mangal Fonts (Hindi) and Tunga Fonts (Kannada) into a PDF file (by using Adobe Acrobat X Standard - English, Version: 10.1.4, Program File Size: 1790 MB, Complete/Full Version) after formatting and reinstalling all the necessary software / softwares (Microsoft Windows XP, Home Edition, Version 2002, Service Pack 3 and Windows XP Service Pack 3, Version: 20080414-031525, Program File Size: 9.08 MB)?

    Any Word 2010 document file that has been converted into any PDF File unfortunately does not show either the Mangal (Hindi) Fonts or the Tunga (Kannada) Fonts.
    The PDF file will unfortunately become/remain totally/fully/completely blank.
    When I convert an Excel Workbook having the Tunga Fonts (Kannada) to/into a PDF File, some of the Tunga fonts in the PDF file are legible and some are unfortunately illegible (get superimposed / overwritten on each other).
    Perhaps I may get the same result if I try to convert an Excel Workbook having the Mangal Fonts (Hindi) to/into a PDF File with some Mangal fonts being/becoming legible and the rest being/becoming illegible (getting superimposed / overwritten on each other).

    My chronological sequence of steps to create a Word 2010 Document or an Excel 2010 Workbook:
    I first create a Word Document File or an Excel Workbook File and save it by giving an appropriate file name.
    Then I right click on the closed Word Document File or the Excel Workbook File in the file folder and convert it into a PDF by retaining the same/original file name.
    The font list of Microsoft Word 2010 claims/says/states that both Mangal and Tunga are True Type fonts and also that these fonts will/would be used on both printer and screen.
    In case if there is any text content in English in the beginning it will get converted into PDF only till/until either a Mangal(Hindi)/Tunga(Kannada) Font starts.
    The remaining English text content does not get converted into/to PDF the moment a Mangal(Hindi)/Tunga(Kannada) Font starts. If the entire matter is purely (100 per cent) in English text it will fully / completely / totally get converted into a PDF file without any problem.

  • My text has become thicker and stronger?

    All of my fonts have become thicker when I type them in photoshop.
    Does anyone know why or how I can change it?
    Left hand side is what is was before, and right hand side is what it is right now… they’re both on crisp though… Even though the right hand side is crisp, it looks like a strong, and when I put that on strong it looks even stronger (I hope that made sense)

  • I have iphone 4s and just bought an ebook for ibook, trouble is the font is so tiny I can't read it and the font sizer is not working? Please help!

    Hi, I have the  iphone 4s and just bought an ebook for ibook, trouble is the font is so tiny I can't read it and the font sizer is not working? Please help!

    Hello Glittergirl68,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like the function to reseize the Font in an iBook is not functioning properly.
    I recommend a few things here. First close all the apps that are running in the background:
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    From: iOS: Force an app to close
              http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    When you have done that, restart the phone, and try again.
    If the issue persists, I would follow these steps from the article:
    iOS: Troubleshooting apps purchased from the App Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1702
    2. Check for app updates
    You can setup apps to update automatically in Settings > iTunes & App Store, but make sure that your apps are up to date:
    Open the App Store and tap Updates. If updates are available, tap Update All.
    If  prompted, enter your iTunes Store account information. App Store will then download and install the app updates.
    Note: Some apps may require a Wi-Fi connection to update.
    3. Install another app from the App Store
    If none of your user-installed apps will launch, there could be an issue with Apple ID authorization. Download and install an app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information. You can also remove an app from your iOS device and download it again from the App Store or sync the app from your computer.Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.
    4. Restart the app
    If the issue affects only a single app, try closing just that app.
    5. Restart your device
    Turn the device off and on.
    6. Reinstall the affected app
    Remove the app from your device and reinstall it:
    Tap and hold any app icon on the Home Screen until the icons start to wiggle and show a small "x" in the top-right corner of the app.
    Tap the "x" in the corner of the app you want to delete.
    Tap Delete to remove the app and all of its data from your device.
    Press the Home button.
    Go to the App Store.
    Search for the app and then download it again.
    All the very best,
    Sterling
