Why does my text look like gibberish?

Hello,
I was on iCloud.com and logged in and found that me text looks like this. Someone at Apple having a bad night. I get those now and them. How do I fix it? Or is it just Apple done goofed? Any and all feedback is MUCH APPRECIATED!!! Thank you!!!

Try going to Applications/Font Book and validate your fonts. It appears a system font may be corrupt.

  • Why does my text look jagged in Fireworks CS4?

    I have had it up to here with fireworks CS4. I can't figure out why my text looks like my dog chewed on it. If Fireworks CS4 has the same text engine as Illustrator than why does my Text in Illustrator look crisp but my text in fireworks looks jagged. I tried using anti-lising but that didn't help. I know there's been a lot of text issues with Fireworks CS4 but I thought the bugs were all fixed by now. Check out the attatchments to see what I'm talking about.

    I posted a similar discussion a few months ago and while many were very helpful with their suggestions I have all but given up with using text in Fireworks.
    It just isn't worth the bother when other applications can do text with no fuss and no messing with sizes and resolutions. I tend to use illustrator or dare I say it, Paintshop Pro which produces text easily and clearly within a text box or over an image
    I'm keeping an eye on your discussion to see if there are any new words of wisdom. Here's hoping.
    Sorry I can't offer any advice

  • Why does this text look a little different in Firefox?

    Look at the difference between Firefox's text and Konquerors. (Firefox is on top, Konq on bottom)  Firefox's is rather... ugly; konquerors is how the site is supposed to look.  Why is that, and how can I fix it?  Firefox looks fine on pretty much every other site except that one, but I go there often and the text looking like that is bothersome haha.  It's not a huge deal, but it would be nice to fix if I can but I don't even know where to start.

    Firstly, I too think, that Firefox displays the page in a better way. Tahoma is amongst my favourite fonts.
    ConnorBehan wrote:Why is the (5656 viewing) part only in the Firefox screenshot?
    Easy explanation. He displayed both pages shortly each after, this is why under Konqueror there is one more posting. He is using Firefox as his primary browser I guess, therefore Konqueror has him not marked as logged in. Only logged in users have the information displayed, how many users are viewing some particular subforum.

  • Why does my cmus look like this?

    It's in a screen session on Leopards terminal. It didn't do this before and I haven't updated anything and I'm confused. If I go to the cmus window, the rest of the screen windows look like that too and when I detach the term looks like that.
    hrm, it only does it when I do
    ssh -t me@foo 'screen -rd'
    if I just ssh then do screen it doesn't

    Supposed to be plain old english. Leopard terminal says it does UTF-8, but I'm pretty sure I removed all the foreign languages.
    The weird part now is that it only does it when I put screen in my ssh command. Let me bold that part. I can live with hitting up arrow every time I login from this computer.

  • Why does the text look pixelated

    I am using Helvetica Neue and when I publish the site the text looks pixelated.

    Best practice is to use a Web Font, if possible. If not, use a Web Safe Font and only as a last resort use a System Font (since it will be converted to an image). An image is slower to load in your browser, prevents site viewers from copy/pasting your text content, prevents using the browser's Find feature within the page, and prevents you from being able to apply hyperlinks on ranges of text. Muse does automatically generate "alt tags" for the image, so search engines will still be aware of the original text content.
    If a System Font is used, it will only render well if the background of the text frame is 100% opaque. (It has a solid fill color. An 100% opaque gradients. Or it has a 100% opaque fill image.) This is due to the fact smoothing the edges of the type on an LCD display requires knowing the color of the pixels behind the text. If the text frame is transparent then the smoothing will be performed using an inferior approach that is color agnostic to avoid creating color artifacts on the edges of the type. (Note that bringing in a transparent image containing the type from some other source will have the same problem.)

  • Why does Java utility look like this - mac god required pls

    Where are my option tabs - this is driving me nutzoid

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only Guest login created by Find My Mac.
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The Guest login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • Why does my screen look like it has spots all over when it has not been in or near water?

    Has anyone else had this happen?  I have had my phone for about a month and today it looks like the phone has water spots all over the screen.  It hasn't gotten wet even accidentally from rain or anything.  Haven't had any, so I don't know why it would look like this.  Is there a way to get rid of this?  

    I just bought one and it had a sticker on it and it was impossible to remove, so I took it off and now there are spots all over.

  • Why does my project look like this?

    Hello to all. I am in the process of setting right my media...reorganizing my projects and events, deleting duplicates, deleting render files etc. I was puzzled to come across this appearance of one of the projects. FYI, I am using event manager to ensure that not more than one or two events/projects are presented to FCPX at any point of time. Here is this screenshot:
    Usually if there is some problem with events not being available [the project looks red in color and some warning is given] I am accustomed to the warning icon at the starting place of the project. Clicking upon that icon brings up the inspector window and clicking the modify event references button at the bottom usually settles the issue.
    When I ran the skimmer over the project, I was able to view the video and even hear the audio of this 'closed looking' project.
    Right now I have done this: click upon relink project files. I was able to locate all the files and have pressed the relink button and the process of relinking is going ahead.
    I dont know or understand what I am doing, but would like to know how this project has donned such an appearance as this one? Knowing this will help me to be more careful in future. Had I failed to locate the files, it could be that I would have lost the project.

    Upon rebooting and opening the application, I got this:
    The closed and blue colored appearance of the clipsremained unchanged. Placing the cursor upon the clip opens up that segment and the corresponding part of the project turns up in the viewer. Sound is also audible while skimming over the project.
    The project plays in the project library:
    While so playing, both audio is heard and the video is seen in the viewer, in a normal fashion. While the video is playing, that 'clip' is open in the project as seen at the cursor location in the shot above. But, when the video is stopped, the 'clip' in the project closes down and only the red skimmer is visible:
    The project opens in the timeline and also plays normally as well:
    Tom, I do not understand what all these 'abnormal' things mean. May I ask this : what is meant by consolidation of project media and can I click upon this option?

  • Why does my Firefox look like the ollder versions? - your examples show a new look with the orange tab in the top left hand corner

    The examples shown for Firefox 4 and above show a browser with the orange Firefox tab on the top left corner.
    In my case, the browser continues to look - and operate like the older versions.

    Go to View (or just right-click on any empty space of Firefox's panels - for example, near the tabs) and turn off the Main Menu Panel. You'll see what you're looking for.

  • Why does my screen look like this

  • Why does my media look like this?

    The media is a 16 gb image sequence turned into a .mov file by Quicktime Player 7. Doesn't work when I try to add it to my timeline or even play through Final Cut Pro. The .mov file plays fine through VLC. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for your help!

    Yep, file opens and plays in QT player (though a little laggy).

  • Why does the text look blurry sometimes in Firefox 4?

    Whenever I use Firefox 4 on my Toshiba Windows 7 64 bit, it doesn't happen but using it on a Lenovo with 7 64 bit, this problem happens. It doesn't happen everytime I use it and happens on sites that I have visited before that were previously unblurred. I assume this is a issue with FF4's compatibility with my display.

    Turn off hardware acceleration in the '''tools/options/advanced-browsing''' section. This seemed to make it better. Found this suggestion elsewhere.

  • Why does my site look nothing like the design and during testing once uploaded to the server?

    Why does my site look nothing like the design and during testing once uploaded to the server?,
    Im using Muse whichj crashes like you would not beleive, but after much perseverance I got a basic 4 page holding site together, I tested the site and it all looked fine, when I uploaded it to the server it looks nothing like the site I tested, to the point that even the background has changed colour and nothing is in the rite place.

  • Why does my 24fps look bad on my TV?

    I just got the Panasonic AG-HMC150. I have shot some footage at both 1080p24 and 720p24. I transcode the files to Pro Res in FCP and they look pretty good, I realize the panning isn't as smooth as 60i. I drag one of the files into the FCP timeline and let it automatically "optimize my settings" for the sequence. I have verified that it is 23.98fps and field dominance is none. I have tried selecting "share" and going straight to AVCHD from FCP, and also taking the original MTS file, and Apple Pro Res and dropping into Toast and trying that way. The footage just looks choppy, jiddery and unsmooth. I have seen enough movies in my life to know that when they pan, or have cars drive by, that movies 24fps looks a million times better. My Sony HDTV even accepts and displays 24fps, and when I press info on the TV remote when watching one of these AVCHD discs it in fact says 1080 (or 720) 24p. It just looks bad. Even taking the HDMI output from the camera and hooking up to the TV and playing from the camera looks lousy.
    What am I doing wrong? I know a ton of post work goes into Hollywood movies, but why does their 24fps look nice and smooth and mine looks horrible? Do I need to render with pulldown in FCP or something. I can't figure it out. Any advice, suggestions?

    I transcode through FCP to apple pro res, the files shows up as 1920x1080 24fps. Field dominance is none. I edit the video and then export as quicktime movie using current settings. The Pro Res file says 23.98 when played in quicktime so I know that's good. I simply then drop the file into Toast (10.0.4) and burn blu-ray disc, selecting DVD as the media. I noticed too I need to change the field dominance under the encoding tab in Toast to progressive, as automatic doesn't work. It only burns the top half of the image. Regardless, when I make these discs and play them on PS3, my TV's info says 1080/24p. Maybe my eyes aren't use to seeing 24fps. Does it sound like I am doing anything wrong in my workflow/encoding process.
    Again, good tip on the shutter speed Jerry.
