Ugly text rendering in Safari 5.03 for windows

Text renders really ugly and some times unreadable in Safari.
Not all text but always the text in RSS feeds and the text in this forum.
It's too bold and looks like it is small text that has been scaled up without adding pixels.
Anyone else with same problem or anyone with a solution?

here's what it looks like:

  • Staff? Text rendering incompatibility  Safari 7.06 and Muse 2014.1.1.6     Websafe fonts render issue

    Text rendering incompatibility
    Safari 7.06 and Muse 2014.1.1.6
    Websafe fonts render poorly when on top of a
    ‘Browser Fill’  has ‘Image added’  and ‘scrolling’ check box left unchecked’
    or when
    Any ‘composition is set below the text and composition is set to ‘pin’
    Comparison Web safe fonts render
    Chrome = all good
    Firefox = all good
    Safari running on ‘non-retina’ displays = bad
    As mentioned these are websafe font / also occurs with self/hosted fonts
    unfortunately client is viewing on Ipad that is non retina and uses Safari.
    Any work around?
    Thanks

    Hi Zak
    Thank you for your prompt response.
    I have been reviewing this issue on a number of screens an Browsers – I realise the huge hassle of compatibility comments.
    Below links and further explanation and screen shots
    Thanks again
    Milton
    Web safe fonts (e.g. helvetica / arial) render poorly when:
    Any ‘composition’ is set below the text and the 'composition' is set to ‘pin’
    See first scroll page at www.edehorton.com
    The top slideshow is 'pinned' and it is this action that creates the issue for text on the whole page.
    It also occurs when text is on top of a ‘Browser Fill’  that has an ‘Image added’  and ‘scrolling’ check box left unchecked’
    See first scroll page a www.edehorton.com/judaica.html
    creates the issue for text on the whole page.
    I can remedy these  situations by ‘unpinning' the 'compostion’ or placing the ‘pinned' 'composition' above the text
    or in the second instance by turning the ‘scrolling’ radio check button in ‘Browser fill’  on.
    Screen snap shots below
    Comparison 'Web safe font - Helvetica' plus 'Webfont' render
    Chrome = all good / Firefox = all good /Safari running on ‘retina’ displays = all good Safari 5.06 on' non-retina' = all good
    Safari 7.06 running on ‘non-retina’ displays = bad

  • Safari 4 browser for Windows F11?

    Is there an option to duplicate F11 windows function in Safari 4 browser for Windows? I want ALL the tool bars to hide.

    you can go to the view menu and turn everything off. If you want the tool bar (with back & forward buttons, address bar & google bar), hit Ctrl + L. If you want the menu bar (file, edit, etc.), hit the "alt" button. That should give you the full screen solution while still having access to those navigation elements.

  • Charting data from text file in LabVIEW 5.1 for Windows

    I am having some difficulties trying to figure out how to plot a chart with
    data from a file. I would like to be able to read data from a text file
    into a chart using LabVIEW 5.1 for Windows. I have looked in the help
    within the program and online. I have also looked in the user manual and
    the book "LabVIEW for Everyone". Could you please give me specific
    instructions on how I would construct the program to be able to do this.
    Thank you.

    Hi Ellie,
    It depends on how data is stored in that txt file. Usually you load the data into an array either using or , the array if necessary and send it to the graph indicator in required form. If you want a more detailed answer, send me a sample data file ([email protected]).

  • I can't view PDF files on Safari 5.1 for windows 7, how do I fix this?

    I like using Safari 5.1 for my web browser at work (I use a windows 7 machine). But the recent update won't let me view PDF files. I have to open up Google Chrome then copy and paste the address into it so I can view the PDF. How do I fix this?

    I use Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro 9.4.5
    There are no updates for this. Are you suggesting I unistall then reinstall this?

  • Text in iPod section of iTunes for windows not totally showing up???

    When my iPod/iPhone is connected and I browse different sections of iPod/iPhone are in iTunes for Windows, there are several lines of text instructions. Some of which don't display the entire sentence. This seems very odd since there is plenty of blank screen real estate available.
    For example:
    In the Summary Section (with iPod/iPhone connected), I see 2 lines of text under Version and 4 lines of text under Summary. None of the sentences can be seen complete.
    In the Music section, under Sync, I see 1st line reading "Include music videos" but on the next line I only see "Include voice m..." and the following line I see "Automatically fill free space with songs". So why did the shorter sentence not display complete?
    Very odd.
    Dell laptop w/ Windows 7 HP 64.

    Mine is a brand new machine. Burning software was installed before iTunes was installed. I am looking at this article which points to a possible problem with the GEAR drivers: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2308
    It also points to the afs.sys and afs2k.sys drivers as a potential problem. I've verified that I don't have these drivers on my machine.
    When I go to the GEAR site, it tells you to manually uninstall the GEAR drivers and install the latest ones. First, manual uninstall which involves editing the registry. Really? While I'm quite the expert at registry editing, NO CONSUMER should ever be told to edit the registry to delete anything. Second, if in fact the GEAR drivers are the problem, shouldn't iTunes install the right ones? This is a prime example of poor software engineering at its core.

  • 1. incoming text size. 2. outlook express for windows 7

    How can I increase the text size in incoming emails using verizon.net as my email.
    Is outlook express available for windows 7.

    The size in the website for reading can not be increased. Outlook express does not come with Win 7, they have moved away from that software. Microsoft offers for free download Windows Live Mail that you can configure for your email accounts.

  • Safari not working for windows vista

    everytime i start up safari it just quits unexpectedly and windows just can't seem to find a solution for this problem. wondering whether it's a bug and whether there's any updates for it!
    thanks!

    Hi,
    Welcome to  discussions
    Help others to help you by posting what you have tried to stop the crashing.
    In mac, cleaning up internet clutter has been known to help.
    Cookies, cache, Icons folder etc...
    Enable the debug Menu in Safari that may help, if like Mac there are net files there you can empty.
    To enable the Safari debug menu on Windows
    C:\"Program Files"\Safari\Safari.exe /enableDebugMenu
    See Macosxhints for more details, on how to use the command.
    Ok leave I you to the Window users hope someone can help you get it sorted, albeit i hope something I posted helps.

  • What versions of Safari were released for windows?

    Omniture reports Safari version numbers, but not the OS.
    I need to download older versions of Safari to QA webpages.
    The platform being QA'd is Windows (XP-SP3 & Windows7).
    It seems as if there were more than 2 versions of Safari for Windows.
    I can only find a download for 5.1.7 and 3.1.2 - what about interim versions?

    Hi MIke,
    Are you still facing this issue?
    Have you tried to install latest update patch 11.0.09. Do you have any GPO's for Reader. Have you tried to disable and checked again.

  • Safari 5.1 for Windows not updating to Safari 6?

    My Safari won't update to Safari 6. I cant find it on Apple's website and it has been out for Mountain Lion for a while now, and I REALLY want iCloud tabs and stuff so i can browse the same stuff across all of my devices. Chrome does it, but i hate chrome user interface and prefer Safari.

    Safari 6 for Windows is not available for Windows as it is not released by Apple.
    Safari 5.1.7 is the latest version available for Windows.

  • Safari 5.1 for Windows 7 x64 (Scrolling Problem)

    I know its known to some that scrolling is broken or at least is very flakey with Safari 5.1 on Windows 7.  I have two questions.  First, has anyone found a fix yet? Second, if not, how would I contact Apple specifically about this problem?  Thanks.

    I know it isn't what was asked in the post but it might help if this is the problem you have until they fix this.
    My scroll wouldn't work unless I rolled the wheel real fast. After disabling "Smooth Scrolling" the scrolling worked.
    I hope this helps someone because I was just about to stop using Safari befor I got it to work.

  • Safari 5.1 for Windows no longer connects to the internet. Anyone else see this?

    I'm typing this from Firefox on the same Windows XP Pro machine which watching Safari in an infinite "connecing to www.apple.com" window. I've been using Safari on this same machine for over three years. Todays Safari update killed it.

    No Woder, Apple broke something wiht this Update. There are too many ppl complaining post update.
    Anyway, M also suffering the same glitch. Have saved the pain of uninstalling-installing of Safari/iTunes(thanks to other fellow sufferers).
    Now, here is the complete picture:
    - PPL said to clear out proxies or something. I did everything, but nomproxy settings are there.
    - Oftenly, when on the preferences of Safari, i get this Error message for webkit2webprocess.exe has some probem. xpcom.dll is missing. Didnt get this msg tonight though.
    - Downloaded WebKit and tried to run as said above. but it prompts as
    Safari.exe - Entry Point Not Found
    The procedure entry point u_strToUpper_4_0 could not be located in the dynamic link library icuuc40.dll.
    OK  
    Now, tell me if i really need to re-install itunes/Safari??

  • Cannot install safari 3.1 for windows

    I downloaded safari 3.1, i installed it, windows (vista)/the programm says it is done but it is nowhere on my pc.
    Anybody else had this too?
    Like to see messages *from the apple support people themselfes*. I find this wrong behaviour of a programm.

    Safari looks nice, once the font fix is applied. But if the Programs and Features Control Panel doesn't list it, it ain't there.
    Normally it would go into "Program Files (x86)" and could be within Apple or AppleComputer.
    If you have other Apple software, under AppData Roaming would be Apple Computer => Safari along with an iTunes folder that holds personal bookmarks, but that only gets created when launched and it imports Favorites and settings from IE.
    AppleData Local has another Apple Computer w/ Safari subfolders for Database, History, URLLists History.
    I run a 'clean ship' and never interfered with startups. I use to worry about 64-bit versions being supported (Apple came out with x64 version finally).
    I would run a chkdsk on your boot drive, then look for how to use and run SFC.

  • Safari 5.1 for Windows XP Back Behavior broken

    When using tabs, the back button now goes back to previous state for the browser window, not just the selected tab.
    For instance, I have the window open to the apple.com web page (no tabs). I then open a Bookmarks Bar folder of bookmarks in tabs. I click a link in a tab to another page. I then want to go back to the proveious page for that tab. However, when I hit the Back arrow in the toolbar, all tabs close and I go back to apple.com. The back arrow is affecting the window state, not the tab state.

    Why are there no answers for this since August??!  I just upgraded safari on my work PC from 5.0.5 (which worked fine) to 5.1, and now if I hit the back button, all my tabs close.  That is ridiculous and unacceptable.  Why is there not more outrage about this giant glaring BUG?

    There are no issues using 2 or 20 browsers, keeping the bookmarks sync'd is not a pushbutton affair, export your bookmarks from IE then import them to Safari
