Top of Verdana font missing in Safari 6

Ever since upgrading to ML and Safari 6, everytime Verdana is featured on a webpage the top mm or so is missing.
The same pages look fine in Firefox and show Verdana correctly.
I've checked my fonts and I'm on using the default system Verdana font.
The problem seems especially bad in many internet forums.

Back up all data.
Launch the Font Book application and validate all fonts. You must select the fonts in order to validate them. See the built-in help and the support article linked below for instructions. If Font Book finds any issues, resolve them, then boot in safe mode* (by holding down the shift key at the startup chime) to rebuild the font caches. Boot again as usual and test.
Mac 101: Font Book
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. In that case only, after running Font Book, launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
sudo atsutil databases -remove
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. After running the command, reboot as usual.

  • Verdana font missing after install on Mac OSX 10.9.4 - won't run

    I have just installed a trial of DreamWeaver on my MacBook Pro and I cannot get it to run.  I receive the below every time I start DreamWeaver:
    After checking Font Book I can see that I don't have Verdana installed.  Any idea why?  My Mac is fairly new and I can't think of any reason why it would not.
    Any ideas?  Thanks.

    Hi,
    I had the exact same issue. New MBP, new Adobe CC and I was getting the Verdana error.
    I had recently installed Microsoft office and it looks like it moved some of my fonts from inside the library/fonts/ folder into a sub folder called "Microsoft".
    Once I moved Verdana back into the main font folder dreamweaver is working fine again.

  • Traffic lights are missing on Safari

    Traffic lights are missing on Safari. Please help.

    To regain your 'traffic lights' go to top of screen and minimise, then drag the screen to the required size.  Every time I maximised the lights disappeared, but when I minimised it they showed up.  I eventually caught on and then dragged the minimised screen to the required size, Easy when you know how!!

  • Setting default font size in Safari

    Hi. I like to set my font size in Safari to one level below the default. I usually do this everytime I open up a Safari window and hit Command+Minus or go to View > make text smaller. Anyway, I was wondering if there was a way I could set this to default so I did not have to do it everytime I launched Safari?

    mrurmil --
    You can go into the main Safari Menu, (upper left of top Menu)
    Go to Preferences>Advanced
    and then lower the size font designated in
    "Never use font sizes smaller than _"
    Mine's set to 9 which is pretty small,
    but I like it better. I believe it was set to 11 or 12 natively.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to increase font size on Safari browser itself?

    Hello All
    I have been using my iMac for only a couple of weeks now, but during that time I have searched high and low for a setting to adjust the size of the font on the Safari browser - NOT the text on the web pages it displays (I figured that bit out!), the text on the actual browser frame itself e.g. the bookmark title, the titles displayed on the tabs etc
    I also have not figured out how to increase the size of the text on the navigation bar at the top of my iMac where all of the available options for the program in use are displayed (file, edit, view and so forth)...
    I am very pleased with the Mac overall, but the issue of these tiny weeny text sizes on the Mac navigation systems is a problem - anyone with real eyesight troubles would certainly be in a pickle!
    Hopefully someone here will know what to do - I guess I just haven't found the secret yet!
    Thanks!

    Greetings,
    Sorry, but you can't change the size of the fonts or the menus in application windows. They aren't that small, so if you have trouble seeing them, you can use the Zoom feature of Universal Access to enlarge everything you move your mouse over. It's in System Preferences.

  • Illustrator CC won't open and asks for Verdana font to be enabled

    Has anyone encountered this error message?
    "Illustrator CC has stopped working. Please enable Verdana font(s) and relaunch Illustrator."
    I've checked the font and it's enabled but Illustrator refuses to open. I uninstalled CC and reinstalled it, but still no joy.
    I'm running the latest version of Suitcase Fusion 5 and Verdana is enabled. CS6 seems to work, but my CC files are not opening in an editable form on CS6.
    Mac running latest OS.

    This is Adobe's fault for using a system font built by M$, and they need to fix their software, but either can't or won't... http://forums.adobe.com/message/6152826

  • Bold Font issues in Safari

    Since installing leopard on my Mac Pro Quad my safari highlight font has changed to a really Black Condensed font like Helvetica Compressed or Inserat, not sure which, and the letterspacing is really tight making it illegible most of the time.
    I can’t read most of the headlines etc... on most sites when the text is below 20pt.
    Please help cant work out why!!!
    It doesn’t do it in Camino etc.. just Safari!

    Fixed it now found so older forum fixes.
    I completely removed all the fonts from my suitcase which cleared any font conflicts rebooted safari and suitcase and it didn’t fix it. But restarted the Mac and it did so make sure you reboot the machine afterwards!
    Thanks

  • Safari is giving me a missing plug in message when I try to view things like movie trailers. The trailers play on Firefox, so I'm not sure what's missing from Safari.

    Safari is giving me a missing plug in message when I try to view things like movie trailers. The trailers play on Firefox, so I'm not sure what's missing from Safari.  I have Safari 5.0.6 and Mac OS X 10.5.8.

    I just noticed that it won't play some newsite videos anymore either. What plug in do I need to update (if that's the problem)?

  • Font book disables Verdana fonts

    for some reason, every time I enable all the Verdana fonts - stored in in /Library/fonts - to start Illustrator (17.10), three of the four are disabled by the next time I try to use Illustrator. I have a couple of versions of Suitcase installed, but they are inactive. I have no other copies of Verdana in my system or home folders, although I have backup copies a couple of places. This is driving me nuts. Why are all but Regular being turned off?

    Having multiple font managers on any system will cause problems like this. Pick one and completely remove the others. Also, depending on how old these versions of Suitcase are, having the interface closed is not the same as inactive.

  • Font missing issues

    After seemingly resolving 'font missing' message when opening a document, the font is still highlighted in pale pink and I can't seem to get rid of it. Can anyone help?

    Strangely enough, I seem to have resolved the issue myself, by removing the fonts from Font Book. Your last reply popped up as I was removing them, and I was going to reload them to font book, however when I went to inDesign to open the document and get you some screenshots, the issue seemed to have resolved itself, leaving me baffled, as I thought I had to have fonts installed in Font Book to be able to use them?
    I do have a secondary issue with another font, Knockout, though. I have added this to Font Book, for use in the same document (I had no issues with this one going missing though), but when I view it in Font Book, it appears as shown below? Do you know why?

  • Symbol font missing problem

    I have a Visio design containing symbols from Symbols font (in Windows) converted to PDF and then imported in the Illustrator CS 6. It says the symbol font missing and substitued with 'Myriad Pro', and those symbols are shown as crossed ('X'). As suggested in some posts, I tried to replace this font with <Symbol> font  (tried others as well) using 'Find Font', but it didn't replace. Can some one tell me a working solution, preferably the solution to the missing symbol font problem itself, if not a way to replace.
    Thanks a lot in advance.
    Raj

    Placing seems to work even without flattening, but as you said cannot edit text anymore.
    Regarding the other solution, that is where my problem was. I tried to assign the correct font  (and with some other fonts too just to check) to the text objects, but Illustrator doesn't seem to accept as the font remains the same 'Myriad Pro' all the time! It is infact what 'Find Font' does for font replacemet, if I understood correctly, but alas this too doesn't work.
    Until there is no better solution, I can at least use the edit restricted place method for now! Thanks Monika for that.

  • Odd font issue with Safari, iWeb

    Ok, so I've been having this odd font issue with Safari for quite a while now, and I haven't been able to fix it. Some text on several different websites come up in a different font than the default font for Safari. I've tried changing the default font to something else, changing the text encoding and nothing. This has been happening with several releases of Safari.
    Now, last night I discovered the same thing is happening with iWeb. Some of the text fields come up with the same font as the one in Safari! I don't even know which font it is. So somehow these are linked.
    I'm at work right now, but I can get a screen shot of the font once I get home.
    Any ideas on how to remedy this?

    Hi Tom, thanks for the response. I tried searching for those two fonts in my font book and they weren't in there. See below for screen shots of the odd text I'm getting:
    iWeb
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    Safari

    If anyone can help resolve I'd greatly appreciate it. As much as I like Safari, this odd font makes me close Safari after a few mins of browsing =\
