Some text is rendering in a strange font in firefox on my Mac.

On some website, there is text that is rendering in an fancy type font, almost like handwritten font. I have no idea why it is happening. I will attach a screenshot of an example of my homepage where this is occurring in just one place I have found.

[SOLVED] Some text not rendering in Gnome after update

After a recent update some text is not rendering in Gnome. For example, look at the url bar of chromium in this screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/A2Qyw.png
Here's a "screenshot" of some text not rendering in gnome-terminal:
$ echo -e "I like pizza\nI like pizza\nI like pizza"
...blank line...
...blank line...
...blank line...
...blank line...
It basically renders my desktop environment worthless. I don't see anything suspicious in /var/lob/Xorg.0.log. Here are some of the packages I've updated recently:

I'm not running [testing]. I don't know which of the two recent upgrades introduced the regression, but I'm guessing it was the one with all the xorg stuff...
Any ideas what's going on here? Thanks!

I suspected libxi first but a downgrade did not resolve the problem. So you may very well be correct by connecting this to the xserver. I'm using nouveau by the way.

Some text not rendered

Hi.
I seem to have some sort of font problem. Some text on certain website doesn't seem to render proberly. This behaviour is only present with webkit browsers (dwb, luakit, surf, midori, jumanji) and not with firefox or chromium. I can't be sure when this bug was introduced, but I'm pretty certain it was a while ago. A recent update is probably not the problem here.
The text is not rendered when you first visit a site where the bug occurs, but whill render if you mark the whitespace where the text should be with you mouse. I'll post two images to show you what I mean.
How it looks:

I'm having the fonts ttf-dejavu and ttf-liberation installed and their paths added to xorg.conf. Nothing else has been done to the font configuration.

I'll probably file a bug report later tonight (although we're in different time zones so that probably doesn't make much sense to you). I'll just compile the latest nightly first, just to make sure that it wasn't just fixed a couple of days ago.

Lion text problem: Some text does not display properly in Safari and Firefox

Hello
Some text in Safari and Firefox is seriously degraded, making it useless. I changed to Firefox because Safari was displaying wrongly, but Firefox displays the same way, so it seems to be an OS problem. See image as an example:
I cannot see subtitles on BBC streamed movies, and the timing of the movies on the bottom ribbon do not display correctly.
I am using Lion 10.7.5
Is there a solution for this problem?
Thanks for any help.

Unbelievable (and I still cannot believe that) - is wmode="transparent/opaque/etc" - not supported by safari ? then how do you suggest we go about transparent flash elements on web pages? why isn't it working on safari while on every other browser on earth it does?

Why are some texts not being received on my iPhone but are on my mac

I just got a new iphone 5C. A friend sent me some pics in a text and it didn't show up on my iphone. The text and pics did show up on my mac though. Can anyone tell me if I have something set wrong on my iphone?

If it showed up on your Mac, that was an iMessage - not a text message as in SMS/MMS.
Was the iMessage addressed to your cell phone number or to your Apple ID email address?

When creating PDF from web page why does text appears as strange font not readable?

I am using Acrobat Standard, ver. 9.5.5. Frequently if I save a web page on either Firefox or Internet Explorer by printing to my Adobe PDF driver, much of the text is rendered in a strange font rather than in the font that appears on the web page. The only work-around I have found is to print the document to a printer and then scan the printed page to create a PDF. Is there a solution to this problem?

The OS may be an issue so what are you using Win7, Win8, XP, MAC, or other? In printing, what job settings are you using? When you open the PDF, check the properties (ctrl-D) to see if the fonts are embedded or not. The problem is likely related to the font not being embedded. The embedding may be a license issue for the font. Acrobat will only embed fonts that are properly licensed. You might try the Print or Press job settings that are a bit better to embedding all fonts.

When I convert my pdf doc to word, the fonts go really weird and it also puts some text into boxes. when I try to select the test and change the font, it does not change it properly?

When I convert my pdf doc to word, the fonts go really weird and it also puts some text into boxes. when I try to select the text and change the font, it does not change it properly? This is making it impossible to amend.

Hi Janedance1,
If the PDF that you converted already has searchable text, please try disabling OCR as described in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (OCR) when converting PDF to Word or Excel. (If the PDF was created from a scanned document and doesn't already have searchable text, disabling OCR isn't a great option, as the text won't be searchable/editable in the converted Word doc.)
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

Fonts used in some text layers not available...

I've been gettting the following message lately when opening Photoshop files at work: "Fonts used in some text layers are not available for activation. You will need to replace these fonts before the layers can be used for vector based output".
But when I check my text layers, there are no indications that any fonts are missing. I double click on every text layer to see what font is being used and double check Suitcase Fusion to make sure it is activated.
I'm using OSX Maverick 10.9.2. I'm using Suitcase Fusion 5 version 16.2.0. And I'm using Photoshop CC 14.2.1. It's more of an annoyance than anything, but would like to know why it keeps telling me fonts are not available when they are currently activated in Suitcase. Not sure if it's an Adobe issue or a Suitcase Fusion issue.
Anyone have any ideas on this?
Thanks!
Steve

DrStrik9, I opened up the file, clicked on each text layer and selected all to make sure there wasn't any character using a different font. There wasn't. I clicked on the font being used, tried changing it to a different font, then back to the font that was being used. I saved and closed the file, then reopened it, and that seemed to cure it for that file. Not an efficient way to go about it though.
I then tried another file that was giving me the same error, clicked on each text layer, changed the font to a different one, then back to what was being used, saved, closed and reopened it, and still got the same message. So it didn't work for that one. I then tried changing the font to a system font, Times Bold true type, saved, closed, reopened, and got the message again. So not sure what is going on. The fonts used in the first file were DIN and DINEngschrift postscript font, which were loaded and active in Font Fusion.
The 2nd file I tried was using Gotham Bold postscript font, which also was active in Font Fusion. I've run Font Doctor on the fonts and found no issues.
Even though I'm getting the error message when I'm opening these files, none of the text layers have that Exclamation point indicating there is an issue with the layer, so it would seem the text layers are fine. Just really annoying to get that error every time I open the file.
Another thing I tried is I created a new Photoshop file and just made some text layers using Gotham Bold. Saved, closed and reopened the file and did not get the message. So, I don't know why I would get it with one file and not another. Very confusing/frustrating. Any other ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Steve

Some Text Messages do not display when using large font on iphone

When using increased font size (accessability function) on iphone some text messages will not display. The iphone just seems to lock up. If normal font size is used text massage displays with out any issue. When font size is increased, text message will not display again.

Hi Peter
Actually, Captivate does have an essentially unlimited number
of undo levels. But that number may appear to be different. The
number of levels starts when you begin editing the project. If you
close and re-open a project, that starts the undo process over.
I've tested and I gave up after about 280 or so undos.
Where Captivate doesn't allow an undo, it normally warns you
with a rather catastrophic looking dialog.
Cheers... Rick

Best way to determine optimal font size given some text in a rectangle

Hi Folks,
I have a preview panel in which I am showing some text for the current selected date using a date format.
I want to increase the size of the applied font so that it scales nicely when the panel in which it is drawn is resized.
I want to know the best way in terms of performance to achieve the target. I did some reading about AffineTransform and determining by checking ina loop which is the correct size, but it does not feel like a good way.
I would appreciate some tips.
Cheers.

Strange fonts, and some fonts not displaying at all

Hiya
I've recently been having problems with Firefox not displaying text correctly - instead it comes up with some jumbled weird characters.
Here are a few things I've already tried:
* I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox (I am currently on v3.6.10)
* I've tried and reinstalled all the default font families in my Control Panel > Fonts
Here are some screenshots of what I mean:
http://img815.imageshack.us/img815/4277/personalbuissnescardbus.png
In this one, there should be some text on the left hand side in the menu and also some useful text where the jumbled characters are near the bottom of the page.

http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/331/9gagchangesofthebatsymb.png
In this one, there should be some text in the top header, on the right hand side and also in the comments in the whitespace at the bottom
Its been like this for a while now, but its now starting to irritate as its making it difficult to read some pages.
Hugely appreciate any help on this.
Thanks

This issue can be caused by an old bitmap version of the Helvetica or Geneva font or (bitmap) fonts that Firefox can't display in that size.<br />
Firefox can't display some old bitmap fonts in a larger size and displays gibberish instead.<br />
You can test that by zooming out (View > Zoom > Zoom Out, Ctrl -) to make the text smaller.
Uninstall (remove) all variants of that not working font to make Firefox use another font or see if you can find a True type version that doesn't show the problem.

Some text fonts are missing or not displayable???

Can anyone help!?
Sorry if this is the wrong forum.
I opened a logic 7 song today and had this error message pop up 'some text fonts are missing or not displayable'. I then noticed whenever I tried to mute audio (using 'Apple M') logic would crash.
Any clues what has happened or how I fix this?
Thank you!
G

I have had this exact issue/warning when opening up older songs that I made in previous versions of Logic.
To solve it, do this procedure even if you never use the Score Editor:
1. Open the Score Editor
2. Go to Text>Text Styles (in the toolbar: Layout,Edit,Functions,Attributes, Text, View, Options
3. When you open Text Styles you will see the grid with different kinds of Fonts for the various Score Editor settings. In this grid, whatever fonts are not available on your computer will have some sort of asterisk bracket stuff instead of saying the name of the font that is already on your computer - Arial, Times, Helvetica etc.
4. Change the fonts by clicking them and selecting ones that are on your computer. If you dont use the Score Editor, it doesnt matter what fonts you put there. Anything will do but you must get rid of the columns which have got a 'hole' with brackets.
5. Save the document with the changes made - the problem should not re-occur.
PS For some reason, when booting up, Logic experiences a 'crisis' when it doesnt have previous fonts available. As I said, do this even if you never use the Score Editor

Turn off this nag screen?? "Some text layers contain fonts that are missing"

Hi all, I have recently been handed a web project from a mac user and everytime I open one of the pages I get the following message. "Some text layers contain fonts that are missing...etc" I have the same exact fonts but in the new open type format. Anyways apparently photoshop can't tell that. I would like to TURN OFF this nag screen. I am not even editing the text layer with the font.
Is there anyway to turn off this nag screen? I turned off glyph protection in the prefrences and restarted photoshop to no avail.

The missing fonts will be listed in grayed out color in the separate last section at the bottom of the font menu accessible from the text tool's property or the character panel
The layers with missing fonts will have the warning sign on the layer's icon in the layer's panel however the missing font/s will be displayed with the correct font. When you try to edit the text on such layer, Photoshop will show a message with the missing font/s and will say that it will be converted if you edit it. If you choose OK, and you have different fonts on the same layer, watch which fonts will change appearance.

Strange font substitution

Hi there,
I am using a MacBook Pro with OSX 10.5.2. It has suddenly started to have problems with the fonts in fontbook and also doing some very strange font substitutions.
Instead of showing text normally it is replacing it with random characters. You can kind of read it but it's not real letters. I have a screenshot of it but don't know how to post the image on here.
This substitution is happening in Mail, Preview and Safari, so seems to be with native OS X software.
Any ideas?

Hi Simon,
Have you gone to FontBook and resolved duplicates?
Create a new account, name it "test" and see how your fonts work in that User acct? (That will tell where your font issue is coming from - whether it's in your Home fonts folder or a system fonts folder) This account is just for test, do nothing further with it.
Open System Preferences >> Accounts >> "+" make it an admin account. Check your fonts in that account and let us know the result.
Also, have you disabled Helvetica Fractions, Helvetica Neue and Times Phonetic, if you have them? They are known troublemakers.
Here is a user tip by Kurt Lang that lists all necessary system fonts and their locations. Also installed fonts and their font folders and loacation from Apple.
