Why am i getting fractions instead of text on some webpages?

i'm getting fractions/mathematical sentences instead of text of some webpages. after reading another post with a similar problem. i did what they said would solve the problem, getting rid of the fonts Helvetica Fractions and Times Phonetic. that didn't work.
i got rid of those fonts. searched thru my hard drive to make sure there weren't other copies of those fonts on my system, but the fractions still show up on some webpages.
i restarted after trashing the fonts and did a disk permissions repair. anything else i need to do?

tom, i'll email you with a screen shot.
It's helvetica fractions or something similar.
when i went
to the fontfinagler download site, the example of
garbled text was different from what i am
experiencing.
That's irrelevant. The point is that your machine may still think you have helvetica fractions because it is still in the caches. Clean them.
by the way, firefox works fine.
This font substitution problem normally only affects Apple Cocoa apps like Safari, Mail, Address Book, etc.

  • Has anyone had trouble getting hangouts instead of text messages?

    Has anyone had trouble getting text messages.  I am getting hangouts instead of text messages.

    Wife,
    Once you merge SMS and Hangouts, Hangout becomes the default handler of incoming and outgoing SMS. To switch to SMS or Hangouts, click the icon on the left side of the Text box.
    Hope this helps.

  • MDX query issue - get key instead of text

    Hello,
    My BW query contain single row of type 0FUNDS_CTR that should be display key and not text. When query is running from query designer I can see the key in the results.
    But, when I try to get the results of MDX statemet on this query I see the text of 0FUNDS_CTR instead of key!
    My query is:
    SELECT NON EMPTY [[Measures]].MEMBER ON AXIS(0),
    NON EMPTY [[0FUNDS_CTR]].MEMBERS ON AXIS(1) FROM
    [[MY_CUBE_NAME/MY_QUERY_NAME]]
    CELL PROPERTIES CELL_ORDINAL, VALUE, FORMATTED_VALUE
    I try to replace VALUE to KEY in
    "CELL PROPERTIES CELL_ORDINAL, VALUE, FORMATTED_VALUE" query part and even remove this declaration but there is no effect.
    I need to work with MDX statements like this and run them from with BI SDK XMLA Connector.
    Any idea?
    Thanks,
    Ola

    Hi Ola,
    Regarding your case ..
    Could you try to go to your query using ur query designer, then go to 0FUNDS_CTR property.
    Set the attribute display as to be KEY.
    And run again your MDX.
    See the result, whether it change into your expectation / not ??
    Hopefully it can help you a lot.
    Regards,
    Niel.

  • Why do I get Open instead of Run?

    When I download the Flash installation program, I get OPEN program instead of RUN.  I don't know how to open this program. What do I need to do to be able to install Flash?  Windows 7 64bit, IE 11 32 bit, and Kaspersky Pure 3.0 virus program. I pause Kapersky when I download the Flash program.

    Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by right clicking the following links and selecting "Save target as" (IE) or "Save Link as"(Firefox).
    Flash Player Uninstaller
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    Save the files to your Downloads folder - DO NOT run anything yet.
    Reboot your system.
    BEFORE opening anything, go to the Downloads folder and run the UNINSTALLER to remove all instances of Flash Player.
    Next, run the ActiveX installer, and then the (other browsers) Installer.
    Lastly, see:Enabling Flash Player in Internet Explorer  and: ActiveX Filtering in Internet Explorer  to make 100% sure that Flash Player is enabled and NOT being blocked by ActiveX controls.

  • Getting boxes instead of text in documents.  IS THERE A WAY TO ACTUALLY SPEAK WITH SOMEONE AT ADOBE?

    This is ridiculous.  Navigating the website, looking for that elusive telephone number for help.  I don't know what wrong with Adobe's 10 flash player program and why it isn't working with my Windows 8 program.  The Windows 8 test says I'm good to go, but obviously, that's not the case.  Are there any people on the other side of this "help" portal?

    There are, but there's going to be a fee for the support call.  If you want to continue down that path, here's the phone number.
    800-833-6687
    If you'd like help from one of the community experts, I'd recommend posting exactly what's going on, what steps you're taking, what URL's you are having problems with, etc. My guess is someone will be able to lend a hand for free.

  • Why did i get an early upgrade text?

    i got an early upgrade text a few weeks ago. is it a one time offer? or can i upgrade anytime? and also how do i use it?

    What did the text say?
    If you are the account owner, log into MyVerizon.  Next to the picture of your phone, you will see an "Upgrade" button, click on it.  This will tell you if you are eligible for an upgrade.  This could be your "annual" upgrade (which is for primary lines on Family Share Plans, and Individual Plans with a basic plan value of $49.99 or greater), a special offer, or your regular upgrade.  It's difficult to tell without more information.
    As always, you can also call or e-mail Verizon directly to ask.

    is this the only way to get support from firefox? where are the developers that write the code? or someone directly responsible for the product? i don't expect an end user to help but this is ridiculous. the windows version works fine but the mac version doesn't. i'm running both on the same machine so it's not the hardware (running windows as a virtual guest in parallels).

  • I am getting strange numeric symbols or tiles instead of text when using Firefox. Repeated reloads and virus scans have not fixed it. I can't find a patch. Help! I hate IE!

    Each time I open Firefox, I get blocks or tiles of numbers for each character instead of text. The tiles appear as composites of four digits, stacked two by two. At some websites, normal text does appear in boxes but mostly as this numeric gibberish. The functionality of the Firefox software does not seem to have been affected. But if I can't read it, I can't use it.

    Try to set the pref <b>gfx.font_rendering.directwrite.use_gdi_table_loading</b> to <i>false</i> on the <b>about:config</b> page.
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
    *Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
    *Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
    *Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

  • Why do I get ?'s instead of images when e-mails are received?

    Why do I get a question mark instead of an image when I receive e-mails?

    When you receive email in HTML format (that is, as a web page), the message will usually contain links to images hosted on a remote server. When you display those images, the sender of the message will know that you've read his message, when you read it, who your ISP is, and approximately where you are. You may regard this as an invasion of your privacy. If the message is spam, then your address has been confirmed as valid and you've been confirmed as someone who opens spam messages. That will ensure you get even more spam.
    If you're using the Mail application, you can prevent that information from being sent out. Select
    Mail ▹ Preferences ▹ Viewing
    from the menu bar and uncheck the box marked
    Display remote images in HTML messages
    You'll still be able to display images when you want to by clicking the button marked
    Load Images
    in the top right corner of the message window. If you do want the images to load automatically, check the box.

    Why Acrobat x professional is changing the text formatting specifically the font family  and the font size of the text in my pdf on exporting it to Microsoft word file format ?How should i stop Acrobat x professional from doing that so that i get an exactly same word file on exporting it from its pdf counterpart?

    I was testing the preciseness & efficiency of Adobe acrobat x professional's doc conversion capabilities. As i have to take a document editing project in future which is going to need lot of pdf to word and vice versa conversions . What I did was I created a test word document converted into a pdf using a pdf maker in my word 2007 , Acrobat did convert the document from word to pdf keeping everything in the source file intact , However when i tried the other way round and attempted to convert the same pdf to word 2007 file format I lost my formatting ?So the font that I used to create the pdf are the ones taken from word 2007 which i believe is using the fonts that are installed in my computer. Any suggestions on how to preserve the formatting of the document after converting it from pdf to word file format?
    Regards

  • Why am I getting a blue box with question mark instead of logo image?  It happens in my signature (in gmail) and in mailchimp (again, only with the logo).

    Why am I getting a blue box with question mark instead of logo image?  It happens in my signature (in gmail) and in mailchimp (again, only with the logo).

    The question mark in the box, if it looks like this:   means that safari cannot find the linked image.  On windows machines, this would be the equivilant of  the small "page-with-a-red-X" logo that appears in the same scenario.  Check the reference to the image and make sure that the image is in the correct location, and is accessable by the reference.
