Text does not display in address bar or any windows I open

Text does not display when typing in address bar. When I open a window (eg Edit > Preferences) no text is displayed within that either.
Problem has persisted through Ubuntu 12.04 (possibly 11.10) to 13.04. Has also remained after re-installs, both through use of Software Centre, and through Terminal commands, and after running purge of all firefox content.
Running Firefox as root using gksu command also doesnt help.

Have finally solved,
1st checked default system fonts available using unity-tweak
Then went to ~.mozilla/firefox and found prefs.js file, deleted everything to do with fonts and families, saved and restarted.
The odd thing is how this file persisted despite removing and purging firefox.

  • Importing PDF to illustrator. Text does not display.

    I am using Illustrator CS6 on windows 7. I created a document on Illustrator CS4 on mac osx and exported the file to a pdf. Now when I want to edit the pdf in illustrator the images and drawings display correctly, but only certain text is shown. Not any text in particular, but just random lines of text within paragraphs. The rest of the text does not show up at all. What could be the issue?

    Why not open the AI file?
    In any case, as Monika points out, the PDF really needs to eb created with the AI editing capability turned on. That way, AI is opening the AI data contained in the PDF, not the PDF data.
    Take care, Mike
    ***Oops, cross-post. I see you did preserve the AI data now.***

  • Bold text does not display in internet browsers

    I am working on editing a website for a client that I did not originally create so I am having trouble trying to figure out what the previous designer did.
    I need to make certain text within paragraphs bold, which I normally do by inserting <b> </b> tags. However when I do this in my coding, it does not display as bold in any of my internet browsers ... IE, Firefox, Chrome, etc.
    Can someone please help me with this or suggest what I may have to change in my coding?
    Thanks,

    The reason it is happening is because the <strong> element is the child of an <em>, the <em> is in turn the child of a <p> tag and all of them are set to inherit the font attributes from thier parent tags. The first parent in the chain with a font setting is the <div> tag with the "left_column" class.
    The "left_column" class tells all of those child tags to set their text as 14px, black, Arial due to the font:inherit.
    The reset is meant to allow you to create css styles for all future tags without any default style being applied by the browser (as Rik suggests, creating the actual " strong {font-weight:bold;}" in your css would also do the trick). Since you don't specify any attributes for those tags other than "inherit your font styling from your parent", they take their attributes from the first parent element with an attribute.

  • 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?

  • How to fill out the clipboard under "about:support" when enter button does not work in address bar? Thearrow button does not work either?

    My enter btton does not work in the address bar or search engine. I have done the restart in safe mode...deleted and reinstalled firefox...done the malware/adware checks...still no improvement.
    I was asked to do the "about:support" then click enter for the clipboard to paste the system notes into. That is not an option however because the orginal problem is the enter button not working. Ideas?

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
    See "Creating a profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.

  • Lync 2013, text does not display in chat box. Windows 7 pc with dual monitors.

    Has anyone experienced an issue with Lync 2013 where when someone sends a chat the text doesn't display in the chat box. Or on occasion when initiating a chat, the text typed in doesn't display? The person experiencing this
    behavior has dual monitors and often times when she is working on a document - then goes to Lync and initiates a chat and types, the words do not display in the chat box. Her graphics drivers are current, (8.15.10.2869). At one point she was able to drag the
    chat box over to the monitor on the left and then the text displayed. Since then she has received a brand new laptop, windows 7 and the Lync behavior continues but now her dragging the chat box to other monitor no longer resolve text display issue. Ideas?

    Hi,
    Did the issue happen if only use single monitor?
    Please update to the latest version for Lync client 2013 and then test again.

  • PO item text does not display in form at first. Only after saving PO

    Hi Guys,
    We're facing a peculiar situation. We print line item texts of a PO in the smartform. However what we noticed was that as soon as the PO is created and we choose to print the po, the item texts do not appear. When we checked in tables STXH and STXL theese texts were not even registered in the tables. All this time the PO is saved.
    Then we went back into the PO in ME22n, made a slight change somewhere and saved the PO. Now these texts appear in the tables STXH/STXL and also in the print out. What could the reason be?
    Regards,

    Hi
    You should check your PO customizing, probably the text is set to be loaded in modification only

  • Whne I clear all history it does not clear the address bar, I still can click on the right side and see all of my past web sites

    I am using the newest version, and have done a clear recent history with all boxes checked

    Entries in the location bar drop down list with a yellow (blue on Mac) star at the right end are bookmarks.<br />
    You can remove such a bookmarked item that shows in the list if you open that url in a tab and click the yellow star in the location bar.<br />
    This will open the "Edit This Bookmark" dialog and you can click the Remove button to remove the bookmark if you want to remove such a bookmarked entry.<br />

  • I installed 33.3.0. It runs but does not display my email folders or any mail. It's all still there but I just can't see it in the app. WTF?

    I'm running Win 8.1 and this installation was an "upgrade" from the previous version of Thunderbird (I've been upgrading for years with no problems.) As well as not displaying my mail, the new version did not pick up my Lightning add-on, it seems to have lost my tags, and it lost my layout preferences.
    I'm still receiving mail (I get alerts as usual) it just doesn't show the messages. I seem to be able to create and send messages, but they don't appear in the window either. All I've got is a whole lot of grey space.
    All my data seems to be intact - at least the folders are there where they should be in the file system - but I've got nothing to display them with now, so I can't be sure.
    Any ideas about what to do? I've tried reinstalling 33.3.0 several times.

    have you tried rebooting your computer?

  • Text does not display correctly on web page

    Much more often than I like, I will find what seem like randomly selected 'foreign' characters replacing punctuation marks (I think) that should be there on web sites. The following text is an example-
    "This download is provided “as is” and has no warranty. If you are not satisfied with "
    I have wondered if it was a result of using a display font that didn't include whatever character was supposed to be there or if it was because I specified the wrong default encoding, but nothing I've specified in the Options makes any difference.
    == This happened ==
    A few times a week
    == Firefox 2.0 was first installed and every version since

    This issue can be caused by the bitmap version of the Helvetica or Geneva font or another (bitmap) font that can't be displayed by Firefox in that font size.
    Firefox can't display that font in the specified size and displays gibberish instead.
    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 find a True type version of that font that doesn't have the problem.
    Try this test to see if the Helvetica font is causing it (Copy & Paste the code in the location bar and press Enter):
    <code>data:text/html,&lt;font face="Helvetica" size="25"&gt;abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica Neue" size="25"&gt;abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ&lt;/font&gt;

  • PDF text does not display properly

    My coworkers made a PDF (using Acrobat Pro and MS Office on Windows) that displays properly in Windows, Mac, Android, and iPad (iOS 6). However, on two different iPhones (v3 with iOS 3, v4 with iOS 5) the PDF displays with no text and only black gradient rectangles where the first line of each paragraph should be. The backgrounds & graphics look normal.
    Inspection in HexEdit and Acrobat Pro show it's in PDF 1.5 format, all fonts are embedded subset.
    Any suggestions?

    According to here, here, here (iPhones specification pages) and here (an article from NYTimes) iPhone can read .pdf files with any iOS version.
    But in your case... Sorry, I don't know more than it... I have different kinds of PDFs on my devices (iPhone and iPod Touch) but I never saw something like it...

  • Is there a way to make sure firefox does not erase the address bar list

    First of all I have no idea where I am supposed to ask this so forgive me if I am in the wrong place. I have noticed when firefox erases it's history all of the web addresses are erased from the location bar. This is a huge inconvenience. Is there a way to 1: customize the bar quickly with all my favorite websites and 2: prevent firefox from erasing the address list in the location bar?

  • Safari on my account does not display images when you open a picture.

    I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 installed. Safari on my account does not display images most of the time when you open a picture like (www.example.com/example/example.jpg or any other format). If the image does not display, I can drag from the corner, it displays the image. However, pdf does not work at all. I have to choose open in Preview to view the pdf file. I can even show the example:
    Sometimes the images work like right now.
    2. This is the time when the images do not work.

    Hi all the real problem was this...
    The issue was that the wee rubber eye piece around the viewfinder had slipped out of its seat slightly and was covering the sensor for the LCD. I Just checked the rubber eye piece bit  pushed right down till it clipped into place and now not obstructing the LCD sensor as the picture displays both with the LCD auto off enabled or disabled !! simple thing but a massive trap !
