Some of google chrome text shows up as squares mess

I love Google Chrome but I can't read certain headlines and pop up windows. I have uninstalled and reinstalled.
I have managed my system fonts in fontagent pro and then not managed them. I have changed the encoding. I checked it on my laptop and it has the same problems strangely enough. This has been going on for years and I keep trying to use chrome but have to switch back to my old browser always out of frustration. When I first installed it, it used to work great. Something happed along the way. I posted this question to a chrome forum and no one seemed to have any suggestions. I did some research on the internet and someone suggested it was some sort of widget. But the way they worded it, I could not figure out if I had that widget or how to get rid of it in the first place. (How does one get rid of those?)
My system is up to date running Lion OS 10.7.4 and my Chrome is up to date.
When I try to pretend like I know what I am doing and check the source page of some of the highlighted text to see if its a missing font. It just refers to a headline style and not a typeface so it doesn't help me at my lay person's level.
If I can figure out how to attach a screen shot, I will of the strange letters to see if anyone has any clues to help me.
Thank you!

The following is from the source of this page. The Browse button displays it's text correctly but the Preview Reply and Post Reply buttons just show blocks.

Touchsmart 610 - Google Chrome not Showing tools icon- Cannot Update Google

Google Chrome screen as displayed on TS610 is not showing the wrench for updates and settings. Can this be corrected ??

Hi hiral2cool,
That is very strange. I think this has to do with the ico file being enabled or disabled in about:config ? Try to disable javascript and restart the browser. You can still access it from about:config or by installing an add-on.
'''about:config'''
# In the address bar, type "about:config" (with no quotes), and press Enter.
# Click "I'll be careful, I promise"
# In the search bar, search for "javascript.enabled" (with no quotes).
# Right click the result named "javascript.enabled" and click "Toggle". JavaScript is now disabled.
To Re-enable JavaScript, repeat these steps.
'''Add-ons'''
You can alternatively install an add-on that lets you disable JavaScript, such as
*[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/noscript/ No-Script] (to disable JavaScript on a per page basis, as required)
*[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/quickjava/ QuickJava] (to easily disable and enable JavaScript, automatic loading of images, and other content)
*[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/settingsanity/ SettingSanity] (adds back removed options for JavaScript, Advanced JavaScript Settings, loading images, and showing the Tab Bar)
Thank you and I hope this helps!

Since the last upgrade some emails and sites texts show only as boxes as if that particular font is now missing.

Some important emails have come in and can't be read because all the letters look like boxes. This has never happened before. Some sites that I use are no longer legible because what appears to be the fonts are missing.

That worked. The FixIt didn't apply to win7 but I found a manual description of how to do the same. Actually there were two descriptions and one mentioned that non-admin users may not show up as available logons after this. Glad I noticed so I could do the extra step of re-enabling those accounts. Thanks for the tip. I have no idea what put the security settings off from default in the first place.
Here is a link for how to manually reset security settings in Win 7. It actually gives the same instructions as the next one for Vista but that one didn't say it was for win 7 so I didn't use it till I found this one
http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7repair/thread/cd0f1e1e-739e-427e-baad-d 2a744e61008
This one is for Vista but also describes re-enabling the users

Google Chrome not showing my shortcut icons

Hi People - good day all.
I've got a Z1 with Chrome v37.0.2062.117. Eberything else is up to date.
It's just started to not show the webpage of my screen icons, and instead just show a one that I used earlier that day.
All the icons show the same webpage, like the browser is stuck on a single page.
A fix is to force stop and empty cache of chrome. Then it behaves for a few web pages, and then does it again on a webpage I've just looked at, and all the icons are stuck on that one.
Last option I tried was to do a total re-install of all the software, which worked until Chrome was back up to the version it's on now.
Don't know if you'd call i a bug in Chrome software. The rest of the phone is fine - 12 months old.
Thanks!

I've reset Chrome back to the factory version and this problem has gone away.

Images and graphics are not showing in certain emails when using Firefox. They show in Google Chrome.

Certain emails from f.chtah.com(image info) are not showing graphic or image content. This happens in both gmail and hotmail. If opened in Google Chrome, they show up.
I had my computer wiped clean last week and everything was showing up ok again until this morning. The same emails are having the problem that was going on for the previous month.
I make sure that all updates are installed.

I figured it out. Clear your cookies. The company that hosts the images and the stylesheets updated their domain name- i figured this out in Chrome, it was showing a different URL for the css- http://ebm.cheetahmail.com
After all the cookies (Privacy Tab in preferences) and reloading the pages the images and stylesheets started working again.
I hope this helps other folks.

Im pissed and tired of messing w it! It is TRash THAT THEY USE THE "FLASH" UP DATER " TO link it w some trash google chrome! Very unprofessional! Since i have used your prod since win 95, and NEVER had these issues! I have LEARNED THAT I CAN NO LONGER COUNT ON ADOBE (*) TO MANAGE./RUN on my computer!!! As a result, i cant do much of any thing! even if i d.l. it every day--it simply will not "TURN ON!"---LIMITING THE VALUE/RESOURCES, MY COMPUTER CAN DO!!

Dude, you need to calm down and take a break. I am not a code writer nor a website designer, but this worked very easily for me. I am a PC-er not a MAC user. I have a Toshiba 64 bit machine using windows 7 and IE 9. I know enough to really screw things up. Here is the finished poduct http://www.performancekaraoke.net/valvecoverracing.html
It worked for me with no problem. There is nothing to actually download provided you have the free version of adobe flash on your machine to begin with.

Google Chrome Crashing MBP with retina display

My customer just bought a MBP with retina display and Google Chrome is crashing the laptop and rebooting every time he is running the program. Has anyone else seen this problem? He is thinking about taking it back and going back to PC... Please help!! thanks

You might also want to install the excellent gfxCardStaus from Cody Krieger. For some reason Google Chrome feels as if it needs to use the discrete graphics card when, since the fix with the Intel 4000 GPU, it has been able to use integrated. gfxCardStatus let's you use one or the other or discrete switching (for instance with Photoshop, etc., apps that really do need discrete GPU.
Good luck,

Display bug in Google Chrome

Hi All
I made a graphical effect in Adobe Muse. I have a few stripes which start to light up one by each other.
In Internet Explorer it looks fine, but in Google Chrome it shows the effect together with the borders of the stripes (the square in which the stripe is made in is visible during the effect).
Do you know why? How can a correct display of the effect be possibile?
Thank you very much for your help!

Hi,
Could you please upload the page (temporarily) that has the issue and provide us the link so that we can have a look at it?
Regards,
Sachin

FF 4.01 does not handle Text Box correctly and some pages need reloading before showing correctly

FF 4.01 does two things incorrectly when displaying some sites which are not replicated on Google Chrome:
# 1: Some pages do not load correctly first time and the images and text are spread out vertically one by one.
# 2: Where websites use inserted TEXTBOXES or ONLINE FORMS these do not function and come up with error messages like as given below. These do not reset correctly if the page is reloaded.
FreeTextBox has not been correctly installed. To install FreeTextBox either:
(1) add a reference to FtbWebResource.axd in web.config:
<system.web>
<httpHandlers>
<add verb="GET"
path="FtbWebResource.axd"
type="FreeTextBoxControls.AssemblyResourceHandler, FreeTextBox" />
</httpHandlers>
</system.web>
(2) Save the FreeTextBox image and javascript files to a location on your website and set up FreeTextBox as follows
<FTB:FreeTextBox id="FreeTextBox1" SupportFolder="ftbfileslocation" JavaScriptLocation="ExternalFile" ButtonImagesLocation="ExternalFile" ToolbarImagesLocation="ExternalFile" ButtonImagesLocation="ExternalFile" runat="server" />

Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks.
*Shockwave Flash 9.0 r999
Update the [[Managing the Flash plugin|Flash]] plugin to the latest version.
*http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
In Firefox 3.6 and later versions you need the Next-Generation Java™ Plug-In present in Java 6 U10 and later (Linux: libnpjp2.so; Windows: npjp2.dll).

Some graphics are missing on all websites, Google menu text only

First Google Chrome works perfectly. The issue is with IE and Firefox. The homepage Google.com has an extra menu at the top and it is totally text, but more importantly, on most websites, only some of the graphics show. (ie Flash). It's worst in Gmail where everything is text-only. And NO, I did not enable on of those visually-impaired settings. I have reset settings in both bad browsers and even downloaded a new copy of Firefox. Same thing happens in IE and Firefox, while Chrome is normal. I did fix it last week, but can't remember what I did. But, after my weekly re-boot, it's baaack. Very frustrating. Been trying lots of suggestions for 2 hours now. Same....help my browsing is crippled.

Hi Waka_Flocka_Flame. No, that did not change anything. Still has the problem in Safe Mode. But thanks!

After installing CC, The font on some websites has changed in my browser Google Chrome. Help!

After installing CC, The font on some websites has changed in my browser Google Chrome. Help!
take for example facebook & ebay, the fonts have changed to a distorted block type font, very un-readable, Only after I installed adobe CC, this took place...
I am using google chrome
Can any one help me?
I have tried to fix it by tinkering with some settings in google chrome but had no luck!
here is a screenshot of the problem:

Unless a web page uses a “web font” that it supplies itself, web pages typically provide a list of fonts, in priority order, of fonts to be used to render text. Typically, this list of fonts represents “system fonts” of MacOS, Windows, iOS, and Android - fonts that can be counted on being installed. Helvetica Neue is a MacOS system font that is not typically found on Windows systems. And even if a user licenses recent versions of Helvetica Neue OpenType fonts and installs same on Windows systems, they are in the “Helvetica Neue Std” family which would not match “Helvetica Neue” which is native to MacOS. Thus, I suspect that the Helvetica Neue you have installed on Windows is an older font offering.
There are three issues here:
The first is that web pages provide a priority list for font usage. I suspect that the web pages you are seeing Helvetica Neue actually used on your system are requesting fonts in the order of Helvetica Neue and then Arial. The typical MacOS system would display the content with Helvetica Neue and the typical Windows system would display the content with Arial. Since you have Helvetica Neue on your system, you are getting rendering similar to what a MacOS system would have.
The second issue is that there is no way to force a web page to reverse the order of priority of the fonts it lists.
And finally, the third issue is that there is no way to hide a font selectively by application.
The only way you can avoid Helvetica Neue being used on web pages preferring Helvetica Neue to let's say Arial or any other font on its list for particular text rendering is to uninstall Helvetica Neue.
That having been said, other than perhaps personal type design preferences, are there any other issues with regards to use of Helvetica Neue for display of these web pages?

PDF annotation with link, image doesn't show, only in print or Google Chrome, not Adobe Reader main

We are creating PDF files with annotations, we are using the O2 Solutions PDF Library for C#. We used to create PDFStampAnnotations, but now we want to make the images clickable, to navigate to the URL belonging to the image.
Therefore, we are now using PDFLinkAnnotations, with a PDFImageAppearance.
We set the flags of the annotation to Print.
However, the annotation won't show in the PDF in Adobe Reader. It does show in the Google Chrome inline PDF viewer.
It also shows in the print preview window in Adobe Reader.
But it does not show in the normal view in Adobe Reader. What we do see is, when hovering over the rectangle that should contain our image, our mouse cursor becomes a hand and a tooltip with the link is displayed. If we click, everything works as expected. But we don't see an image!
What can we do about this? This is really annoying, as I don't have a clue why it won't work. Actually, to me, this looks like a bug in Adobe Reader?

Thank you for your reply.
Indeed, I tried saving a PDF that had the "default appearance", it shows exactly the same. So it looks like it "can't" show the image.
However, of course, I do want the image to be shown. How can I achieve this? How can I tell Adobe Reader (and other PDF viewers) I really really realllyyyyy want to see that image there? I believe I'm not doing anything really exotic, right? There must have been tons of other people that wanted to do the same thing, I guess?
                    var annotation = new PDFLinkAnnotation
                                Action = new PDFUriAction(this.GetCodeUrl(code)),
                                Contents = AnnotationIdentifier,
                                Appearance = new PDFImageAppearance(bitmapImage),
                                DisplayRectangle =

Invisible text in Google Chromes Icloud Webmail

Suddenly I can ONLY see the text in some of my emails in my Iphones icloud-mail or if I use Explorer (webmail).
If I check it out on Iclouds WEBMAIL (Chrome) the message looks empty/blank?
Only from certain users though (to make it more complicated).
Started last week, and it doesnt matter which computer I use, (I've tried it on pc:s with different operating systems, bit not on a mac:s webmail, so far) but seems to work in other webreaders (explorer) but not google chrome and Firefox.
It's kind of strange.
I like Chrome otherwise, so what do I do?

Invisible text in Flash enabled web pages is a frustrating problem that is affecting Mac Users who play Farm Town (8.5+ million people on FaceBook) and probably many other games too. See this forum as an example of the problem: http://slashkey.com/forum/showthread.php?p=2531318
Before even reading this forum I did everything that appears here with no success and then everything listed in the referenced forum (above) with no success... but the following did fix the invisible text problem and I hope that it will help others too.
1. Drag the Font folder from the User directory to the trash ie. ~/Library/Fonts. (where ~ is = your User Account Name.)
Be careful; this is NOT the Font folder in the main library.
2. Download Font Finagler v1.5 beta for Mac OS 6, and clean the font cashe files following the instructions for this free shareware app.
http://homepage.mac.com/mdouma46/fontfinagler/
3. Open the Font Book app which is a new app that is included with the Mac OS Snow Leopard (10.6). (Font Book is in the Applications folder.) Read the Help info for this app and then: Choose "All Fonts" in the left column and then choose "Select Duplicate Fonts" from the Edit menu. Disable or delete all duplicate fonts that this process identifies. After dealing with the duplicate fonts, select "All Fonts" again in the left column and choose "Validate Fonts" from the File Menu. Deal with the results that it will display using the help file for guidance. Interestingly, in my case there were no corrupt fonts in my Mac system, but the validation process identified more duplicate fonts that the previous step did not find. Again deal with the findings and disable or delete the duplicate fonts.
4. Reboot your Mac and get on with using your Flash enabled web pages. Duplicate fonts seems to be the problem that cause invisible text in Flash enabled web pages.
Hope this helps you... it worked for me.
