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:

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.

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 fine line Graphics and shading are not displaying at all with OS X Yosemite

    Our team is working on a new website layout.  It is being developed in photoshop and then saved as a jpeg for review.  All of the fine gray lines, boarders and some shading does not display at all.  If I save a screen shot and mouse over to choose the screen shot all of the missing lines and shading appear correctly when holding down command-shift-4 to choose the screen shot.  After the screen shot is chosen the saves screen shot still does not display the correct lines and shading.  Anyone know what is going on?  The jpegs are displaying correctly on my iphone and all other Mac Desktop operating systems. 

    So I returned the previous scanner and purchased the Epson Perfection V600 Photo. I'm still having the same problems and I downloaded the latest driver for it. I also downloaded the driver for my previous Canon Scanner before I returned it. It wasn't working the way I wanted it to work.
    It wasn't the scanner after all but I do like the epson better. When I get it to scan, it's scans faster and has more resolution options.
    Anyway
    Basically I want to be able to scan in Photoshop CC but it's not working the way it used to in previous machines/OSs/photoshops.
    I used to be able to go FILE>IMPORT>SCANNER NAME and then continually scan until I was finished. That is not the case and I have noticed it's a problem throughout when doing some research to fix it. I can scan continually if I got to my system preferences, select the "PRINTERS and SCANNERS"  and then click "Open scanner".
    In photoshop CC I can only get one scan and then I have to close photoshop if I want to do another scan. It's annoying knowing that I was able to in previous machines. Any solutions or plug-ins that I'm missing?
    Thanks so much for everyone helping out!

  • I uploaded a new font and it does not display in firefox

    I have a website that uses a font that is not a standard "Microsoft" font - I uploaded the font to my computer and it displays just fine in Word and Open Office, but my website does not display it. How do I get FireFox to read the font file I just uploaded? I made certain that it IS available in the Windows\Fonts directory.

    Well, browsers only display "system fonts" unless, in Html 5 you establish the CSS @font to use other fonts.
    But, you are sounding like you are not doing that. When you design a webpage on YOUR PC *your* systems fonts will show properly ON YOUR PC because they are *your system* fonts that the browser can find... on *your* machine only.
    BUT, all other PCs/Macs/etc. probably do not have your font installed on their machines and the browser on their machines cannot find the named font, so it substitutes best guesses at it from the normally available generally available system fonts. So, when you create a webpage on *your* machine you WILL see what you are creating because THAT font is available to the browser... but only on YOUR machine.
    **** Only Solution **** is to use Html-5 @fonts CSS definitions BUT that too is tricky but works. Otherwise you get standard system fonts whether *your* machine displays properly or not.
    Hope this helps

  • Login action buttons no longer work and some pages not displaying correctly after upgrade.

    After recent update, some web pages not displaying correctly and Login buttons on some sites do not work. I've updated my plugins and restarted computer, but problems remains. Is this Java, Javascript or something else? Same pages are working fine in IE.

    Please update the firefox to the latest version of firefox 26
    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    <b> To Enable SafeMode </b>
    *You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
    Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")

  • Firefox and Twitter and Finder does not display

    I have recently upgraded to Lion recently. The Transition was way rougher compare to the Snow Leopards.
    I am running a MBP 15", 2009 Mid-2009 version.
    It has 2 graphic cards on board, 9400m and 9600GT.
    When I first launched Lion, I was quite shock that my Firefox and Twitter do not display at all.
    After tweaking the system preferences, I realized that when the 9400m graphic card is activated, there isn't any display on several of the Applications,
    including the popular ones like Finder, Twitter and Firefox. The issues are fix when I switch to my 9600GT graphic card.
    Do any of you have the same issues that I am facing?
    I do hope Apple resolves these issues quickly.
    As using my 9600GT graphic translate to very bad battery life and a very warm laptop! I am not happy at paying $29.99 for something that breaks.

    Hey kennychan,
    I've had the same problem. I've done a clean re-install on a reformatted drive and the problem was gone. If you can do a clean reinstall I recommend you give it a shot.
    Best wishes,
    Dmitry

  • Since update, various sites load very slowly and some do not load until "Reload Current Page" is clicked several times.

    Since Firefox update (6.0.2) many sites load very slowly and some do not load at all (green circle rotates infinitely) until "Reload Current Page" is clicked on 2 to 12 times.
    Returned to version 5. No more slow load.
    Automatically re-updated me to 6.0.2 and now slow again.
    Returned to FF 5 again and turned off automatic update.
    Downloaded 7.0.1 and the problem seems to be solved.

    Same here, only that updating to 7.0 or 7.0.1 doesn't seem to solve this issue. Seems to have something to do with loading images (e.g: adobe.com stops loading when "wwwimages.adobe.com" is being loaded. imdb.com, on the other hand, seems to load images very slowly and not all of them).
    Safe-mode. disabling add-ons, clearing cache and cookies and checking for malware doesn't help.

  • A kind of tasksel, and some font / theme issue

    Hi, it is me again. After heavy fighting my own limitations and several reinstallations (but less than you count fingers on ypur hand) I am back on arch. During installation, I followed the readme that it might be a gould idea to install just the base packages, and an editor could be also a good idea. During installation, packages where sorted in a kind of tasksel (who knows debian) - well sorted groups of packages, f.e. "gnome", "kde" etc. While I am on gnome for some time, I feel that my installation misses some features. F.e. I have no possibility to change time via gnome. The admin tools (group, users, login ... - fith toe ware, I guess) is missing. Some themes are crippled, like gorilla, and some font stuff is happening as evolution overviews look rather empty. And, somehow, the system has little built in sounds, hasn't it?
    Well, if you have any idea how to fetch packages via an overview like tasksel ( ore that installation thing ) ore what packages I could need to complete gnome a bit, your ideas are welcome. 
    Btw. did I mention I really like archlin?

    It was closed. Then someone did something, and now GTK+2 can't read SVG files anymore.
    I'd assume a recompile of GTK+2 would fix it, but unfortunately FreeType 2.1.7 seems to break that compiling on my system. I'm assuming it's GTK+2 that needs a recompile, as I can't think of anything else in the dependancy chain that'd deal with any image files.
    You'll need librsvg installed if you recompile. It's not a requirement of anything, so you'd have to pull it manually.
    edit: just compiled a old copy of FreeType and recompiled GTK+2, and that fixes the SVG issue so AFAIK that should fix any GNOME theme problems. That said, of the fonts, do they look "smaller" then they should? Are you using a LCD display?
    I don't know if they are smaller than they should. Seems to be OK, but yes, I use a LCD display. Should I care for something?
    Could'nt anyone fix this bug - I installed arch on several other machines, sometimes the bug appears, sometimes not. It definetly appears if I choose archlinux source on ftp install, as far as I have installed. Maybe a broken package?
    I would be glad if someone could give me a straight solution, as my main working maschine has this bug again.  :?

  • After removing system fonts and reinstalling fonts, FireFox will not start

    After removing system fonts and reinstalling fonts, FireFox will not start! When I start FireFox the "Mozilla Crash Reporter" opens as if FF just crashed??? I don't see any records in event viewer. I am using FF v3.6.3 on a Windows 7 box. I tried uninstalling 3.6.3 and installing 3.0.18 and had the same problem!
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == After a uninstalled all fonts including system fonts and then reinstalling system fonts. ==
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/4.0; GTB6.4; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; AskTB5.5)

    The files with submitted crash report ids are inside the ''submitted '' directory, from the directory you found the LastCrash.txt timestamp file.
    The file names will begin with '''bp-'''
    There might be more information from the crash report, but it might just tell us you are crashing the first time Firefox tries to use a font.
    One thing I suppose you could do is select only those fonts you've got in Tools -> Options -> Content -> Fonts and Colors -> Advanced and then uncheck the '''Allow pages to use their own fonts''' option.
    See http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Options+window+-+Content+panel#Fonts_Dialog
    To be honest, I can't find anything on this Netscape Font Navigator and it sounds highly dubious.

  • The change to a different font was not done because the chosen font and the font encodings in the do

    Hi,
    I created a PDF from a Word document that used Cambria font, and when I select it in Acrobat to try to change the font I get "The change to a different font was not done because the chosen font and the font encodings in the document differ and could not be resolved"
    How can I change the font and why is it preventing me from doing so?
    Thanks,
    Juan

    Juan,
    No, Acrobat is not a word processor.
    More to the point Acrobat lets one "work" PDF and PDF is not a file format designed as a word processing, editing, formating, or page layout file format.
    PDF is, essentially, a "final destination" format.
    What it is is described in the ISO Standard for  PDF (ISO 32000-1).
    Be well...

    Hello,
    If you're in a country where there's an apple shop (unfortunately not mine), go check it and ask the employee about it: he's gonna check your Iphone on a "device"
    I've got an iphone 5 and it's working very well with me but I have to admit that its battery lasts (slower) than my Ipad 2.
    Still i can help with some tips that may improve your iohone's battery by an hour in addition (hopefully):
    - close all apps by multitasking....
    - do NOT keep the brightness to the max
    Believe me you're gonna regret changing your phone to a samsung
    Hope i've helped and sorry for my bad english (has english as 3rd language)

  • Major Problem - some pages not displaying correctly

    All,
    I have a problem with some pages not displaying correctly i.e.
    SE80 navigation page
    F1 help
    I am using XP sp2 and we have the latest version of internet explorer 7 (which I cannot uninstall as it is company policy)
    SAP version is 6.4c.
    I am using SAP Gui 7.10 with the latest patch 710_7.
    This is making the system completely unusable for me.
    I have read a few forum posts mentioning that upgrading to the latest patch version will resolve this problem, but this clearly has not worked for me.
    Can someone please help,  how do I actually esculate this to SAP?
    <REMOVED BY MODERATOR>
    thanks
    Edited by: Alvaro Tejada Galindo on Apr 8, 2008 4:07 PM

    what kind of useless answer was that?  If you have no constructive comments to add please refrain.
    I am a SAP developer in ABAP and its related to SE80 which I used to use primarily for editing code (i now have to use se38).
    I often use F1 for hints on code etc to use and syntax so it does make it very difficult for me.  If there is a more appropriate forum for this please direct me, instead of posting in gibberish english.
    Max - I assume you have the same problem and it is also not resolved by the latest patch.  I wonder is there a way this can be esculated with SAP?

  • Can I sync PC fonts and Mac fonts using Creative Cloud?

    Can I sync PC fonts and Mac fonts using Creative Cloud?

    Well, you should have a dedicated sync MIDI cable. Assign Logic to transmit MTC. Tell Cubase to chase it.
    Song settings>Synchronization>MIDI
    that is where you can tell Logic to transmit MTC. When routing back to Logic you shuld not expect significant latency and there are ways to offset it. The easiest would probably tell Cubase to run a little ahead of the clock. (Offset)
    So there is the Logic settings panel Cubase has one similar, for chasing. If you use a dedicated audio interface and transfer audio digitally from PC to Mac then you would want to have then synced via word clock. I would put Logic as the master here again.
    You're Welcome,

  • When I open fire fox and open uther lings I'm geting masage that fire fox is not resonding and some time loads after a while and some time not.

    When I open fire fox and start opening tabs it tell me that fire fox is not responding and after a while some time will open and some time not. What can I do to correct this. If I need to reload the fire fox let me know how I don't wont to loose all my book marks. Thank you for your help.

    Try to update to Firefox 24 (just been released).
    It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • I have more than one copy of the same song in my iTunes. Some have the icloud symbol next to them and some do not. I need to clean this up but I am afraid to delete the songs for fear I will lose them.

    I have more than one copy of the same song in my iTunes. Some have the icloud symbol next to them and some do not. I need to clean this up but I am afraid to delete the songs for fear I will lose them. Please help! On top of that my Mac keeps telling me my start up disc is full and I am deleting stuff like crazy!

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forums
    It won't be a problem if you delete your extra copies.
    I don't download very much to my tv, I do sometimes if I'm in bed but usually I do it from itunes. However if you have not fully downloaded something to the tv it is possible to start the download from itunes as well, you have likely activated 'check for downloads fin itunes in some way, could be by opening itunes, selecting 'check or downloads' from the advanced menu or that you simply have automatically check for downloads set in your prefs and it has checked coincidentally.
