Weird font in some Gnome applications

I used to use KDE, and had installed the AUR oxygen-gtk package to give the GTK applications a KDE style. After a while, I decided to install Gnome and have since then removed KDE. However, the oxygen-gtk style gave some applications a KDE look, which looks ugly in Gnome, so I removed that package as well. However, now some applications get a very weird font. Can someone help me get the font to the same fonts used in GTK applications?
This screenshot explains what I'm talking about. Note the fonts in Chrome's bookmarks and the menu from Virtualbox, and compare it with the fonts used in Evolution:

Hi,
Follow the guide
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Op … e-shooting
It works. You must do the settings while the menus are in chaos characters. The following images show the places where you must modify the settings in OO.
Press OK if a step is complete. (OK is two "stars".)
For me, this fixed it and worked for libre as well.

Weird font being used in player

For a while now, in my Flash player embedded in my browser
(any browser I use), a weird font shows up for some of the text.
Here's a
screenshot of what I mean, taken in Firefox (you can see the
font in the band name at top and on the song titles):
This also occurs in some PDF documents.
I've tried a bunch of things, including reinstalling my Flash
player and the like. Nothing has worked. I'm going to assume it's
an Adobe font issue, but I don't want to go into the font file and
muck something up just yet. Plus I have no idea what I'm looking
for.
I'm running Mac 10.4.11 and Flash Player 9.
Any ideas or leads? Thanks.

You wouldn't believe the mess that ensues when I try to start using styles in a document. It doesn't happen right away, but soon, the styles conflict and don't apply or become convoluted in a way that I have to throw away the entire document before it infects my system and I have to simply start over. I hate 'styles' and I'm sure it works for somebody, but not for me. The only way I would try styles at this point would be through a college class where I could have an instructor, week after week, where I could bring back my 'mess' and have the instructor show me where I went wrong. At this point, I do not have that and experience has taught me to just don't touch that!
Thanks Jongware, I'll try those things you recommended. Even though I have used InDesign from the day it was introduced (got rid of Quark in a hurry) there are still areas that are yet to be learned for me. What a great program it is.

After installing CC, The font on some websites has changed in my browser Google Chrome. Help!

After installing CC, The font on some websites has changed in my browser Google Chrome. Help!
take for example facebook & ebay, the fonts have changed to a distorted block type font, very un-readable, Only after I installed adobe CC, this took place...
I am using google chrome
Can any one help me?
I have tried to fix it by tinkering with some settings in google chrome but had no luck!
here is a screenshot of the problem:

Unless a web page uses a “web font” that it supplies itself, web pages typically provide a list of fonts, in priority order, of fonts to be used to render text. Typically, this list of fonts represents “system fonts” of MacOS, Windows, iOS, and Android - fonts that can be counted on being installed. Helvetica Neue is a MacOS system font that is not typically found on Windows systems. And even if a user licenses recent versions of Helvetica Neue OpenType fonts and installs same on Windows systems, they are in the “Helvetica Neue Std” family which would not match “Helvetica Neue” which is native to MacOS. Thus, I suspect that the Helvetica Neue you have installed on Windows is an older font offering.
There are three issues here:
The first is that web pages provide a priority list for font usage. I suspect that the web pages you are seeing Helvetica Neue actually used on your system are requesting fonts in the order of Helvetica Neue and then Arial. The typical MacOS system would display the content with Helvetica Neue and the typical Windows system would display the content with Arial. Since you have Helvetica Neue on your system, you are getting rendering similar to what a MacOS system would have.
The second issue is that there is no way to force a web page to reverse the order of priority of the fonts it lists.
And finally, the third issue is that there is no way to hide a font selectively by application.
The only way you can avoid Helvetica Neue being used on web pages preferring Helvetica Neue to let's say Arial or any other font on its list for particular text rendering is to uninstall Helvetica Neue.
That having been said, other than perhaps personal type design preferences, are there any other issues with regards to use of Helvetica Neue for display of these web pages?

Cannot extract the embedded font arial.Some char might not be displayed

Hi Folks,
              Our requirement is to generate the customer account statement for a set of cusomters during a particular period.
                     we use a script to generate the statement and convert it to pdf.This pdf is then stored in the application server and retrived using cg3y transaction.The transaction allows the statement to be generated for multiple customers and company code.
the problem that we face is that the first customer account statement is generated properly the rest of the statements are not displayed properly.When we open the customer account statement we get the error 'Cannot extract the embedded font arial.Some characters might not be displayed properly'.All the Headings that we of the font BOLD ARIAL were not displayed.
This error does not occur for the first pdf file generated.(say we have 3 customers for the 1st customer pdf is proper however for the next two error'.
                     When I checked the application server I found that the first file has font subtype as Type1 and then rest of the files have font subtype as Truetype.
This is working fine.I downloaded the file to pc using cg3y.the pdf looks fine.

Hi,
this can be related to the compression of the PDF file.
You can turn off the FlateDecode compression again via report RSTXPDF3 as described in Note #843480. It is a little confusing. The option 'FLATE_COMPR_OFF' needs to be set to 'On' to turn off the FlateDecode compression.
To set this please run as follows:
se38 -> RSTXPDF3 -> enter 'FLATE_COMPR_OFF' in the 'Name' field -> Select 'Change Settings' radio button
You will get a pop-up 'Do not use flat compression'.
Select the 'on' button.
After this check if the PDF is created correctly.
regards,
Aidan

Font Capture: PhotoshopServer.exe - Application Error (PSE 10) Any suggestions?

Font Capture: PhotoshopServer.exe - Application Error (PSE 10) Any suggestions?

First, go to Windows Update and select the Custom option so that you can install ALL of the latest updates -- including the non-critical ones. This will ensure you also have important updated drivers and software updates.
Then, for good measure, I recommend running Advanced System Care Free on your system to give it a good tune-up. An XP computer is between 5 and 12 years old, and that's a lot of time to gather up a lot of junk and temp files.
http://www.iobit.com/advancedsystemcareper.html
And of course ensure you have the latest version of Quicktime from Apple.com, per the program's requirements. And then go to the Help menu of any Adobe product and Check for Updates.
Then reboot.
If that doesn't fix it, it sounds like you may have a corrupted font. But that may take some troubleshooting to determine.

Installed new fonts, now Chrome has weird fonts instead of Times?

I installed some new fonts on my mac and now Google chrome has weird fonts (assumably apart of the new ones I installed) replacing the standard Times and other fonts on some occassions. I took some screen shots to demonstrate this:
Those are the two weird fonts. I'm not sure what they actually are called. I went into chrome and switched all of the font options to Times but it didn't change anything.
Please help because this is really quite annoying.

Increase default font size across all applications?

I just got a new Macbook with a 15.4 inch 1400x900 screen resolution, and I am finding that the text on screen is really tiny in most cases (on the Apple menu it is fine).
Even some buttons are tiny.
Is there any way to increase the text size systemwide? Since the GUI is PDF based, it ought to scale well, right?
I don't want to lower the resolution, because I naturally want to keep the sharpness.

Hi, eobet.
There's no way of doing this through the Mac OS X GUI itself. However, the freeware application TinkerTool permits you to "set nine categories of default fonts used in Cocoa applications." This permits you to change the font used and its size.
This facility employs hidden settings within Mac OS X, so it's a bit of a hack and should be used with caution and at your own risk.
The graphical elements of the GUI, such as the buttons you cite, cannot be changed other than by lowering the resolution.
For the visually impaired, Mac OS X offers a Zoom option in System Preferences > Universal Access > Seeing. This permits one to magnify a portion of the screen to the full width of the screen.
Good luck!

Very weird font problem

I have a very weird and annoying font problem with the left menu bar of iTunes 8.2(23)
Some but not all menu items are displayed like a mix of Hebrew and unprintable caracters.
But once the menu item is selected, the font is back to normal !
The weired thing is that TV Series and Shopping cart menu items are displayed (in French, because the interface is in French) as expected.
I don't know if it is related, but I have Russian-PC keyboard installed too, Adobe CS4 (which installed Adobe fonts) and my OS interface is in French.

How did you go about finding this Lucida Grande.ttf? I did a search and didn't find it. I have the same weird font thing in itunes. I recently installed a whack of fonts from another computer. Any help would be appreciated.

Weird font in iTunes store.

I am running the latest iTunes version on a Windows XP and I get these weird font which never happened before. How can I fix this?

Back up all data before proceeding.
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 this support article for instructions. If Font Book finds any issues, resolve them.
Start up in safe mode to rebuild the font caches. Restart as usual and test.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t start in safe mode. In that case, ask for instructions.
If you still have problems, then from the Font Book menu bar, select
File ▹ Restore Standard Fonts...
You'll be prompted to confirm, and then to enter your administrator login password.
Also note that if you deactivate or remove any built-in fonts, for instance by using a third-party font manager, the system may become unstable.

Some Adobe applications open a empty, white window.

Hello,
since I have the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop app installed on my new Mac (about 1 month ago), it opens an additional empty window on each launch. Since the update to the CC2014 I can observe this behavior in some Adobe applications like Dreamweaver, too. (but not Photoshop)
I chatted with the Adobe and the Apple support, but their solutions had no effect.
What they have tried:
Delete /User/[Username]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE/opm.db
Rename [Username]/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Adobe Dreamweaver CC 2014 Prefs and [Username]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Dreamweaver CC 2014
Delete Preferences, LaunchAgents, LaunchDaemons
PRAM Restart
Reset user rights
Uninstall all Adobe Applications, reinstall the latest Mac OS X (10.9.3) Update and install Adobe again
The only thing that has helped was to create a new user. But this is not the right solution. Funnily enough, I had this problem when I installed the CC application for the first time on my Mac. It was one of the first programs on the new OS. Maybe the problem has something to do with my user account, but I had the problem, even under Windows.
Screenshots:
I hope you can help me! Have a great weekend!
Best regards,
Maik

I've read the reference you have done me.
The problem is similar. I've inserted the following row in the processRequest controller:
OAButtonBean oabApriCalcolo = (OAButtonBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("buttonScontoCassaCalcolo");
oabApriCalcolo.setOnClick("javascript:openWindow(window,'OA.jsp?page=/scm/oracle/apps/asn/rappvendita/webui/TestPG&retainAM=Y','Sconto',{width:'800',height:'600',toolbar:'yes',titlebar:'yes'},true,'dialog',null);");
The window opens correctly, but the page content shows this error:
You are trying to access a page that is no longer active.
- The referring page may have come from a previous session. Please select Home to proceed. All Framework Pages should have a Function defined on the page when MAC Lite is enabled and the URL MAC Check fails.

I am on a Windows 7 OS attempting to reduce pdf size with my Adobe Acrobat Standard XI & Pro. The application keeps timing out and at the Subsetting embedded fonts portion and the application gives "Adobe Acrobat has stopped working" and then closes. The document is 275 pages. Is there something I can do to stop this?

Hi Ricci,
Since when are you facing this issue? Did you tried system restore to a date before this problem occured.
Does acrobat stop working when you open this specific pdf file or with any pdf file that you open?

Rahul

How can you change the font size in the application and system headers?

How can you change the font size in the application and system headers? I searched the system and finder prefs to no avail. Changing the screen density is not a good option.
Thanks

I downloaded Tinkertool. Found the font section and increased the size of most selections. The only thing that changed that I can see is the window label. The apple line, bookmarks line, the tool bar in safari are all the same---font size of about 4. Found the finder "show view options" but that didn't seem to change anything either. I'll keep working. Restarted all apps after changes as well.

Embedding Fonts in a Flex application -- Legal issues?

I am currently building a Flex application for a Client. The Style guide they have provided shows Univers 55, Univers 65, and Univers 45 as the main fonts for the site and the app.
Page 1567 of Using Flex 4.5 states
Note:
Check your font licenses before embedding any font files in your applications. Fonts might have licensing restrictions that preclude them from being stored as vector information.
The fonts they are using in the AI file for the design document appear to be older version Adobe 1.0 TrueType fonts dated 30th June 1997.
I can not find the original license for these fonts, but such licenses may pre-date embedding technology, so are we allowed to embed them?
As an alternative could we safely use the OTF Univers LT Std family and are there any differences?

As far as i see it, it's mainly just for convenience.
Embedding an image into application removes the need for you to store it elsewhere on the server, as it becomes part of the .swf file.
From personal experience it's very handy with small images, as it doesn't increase the size of the .swf file too much, and it means you don't have to keep track of them when distributing your release build.
you don't have to embed anything, you can simply reference it by location instead, but you'll experience a slight delay as it's loaded into the application on request.
The need for using this feature depends entirely on what you're trying to accomplish.
If you're making something like a large image gallery, it'll completely remove the need for wait for pictures to load when you're scrolling through them. However i wouldn't recommend it as you'll send your application size will go through the roof, and the waiting time for the whole application to load would be fairly extensive.
If you have an application with like 40 small ~3kb images using for navigation icons or something, you might as well, it's just convenient and won't impact the loading time by too much.

I've noticed that since version 7.0 (and in 8.0) FF is either hijacking on incorrectly displaying fonts on some sites, regardless of what is defined in the site's CSS.
