Why does Youtube display text in Chinese?

Youtube pages viewed in Firefox (36.0.1) on my Mac Mini running OSX 10.9.5 display some, but not all, of the text in Chinese. Pages display correctly in Safari and Chrome. I have reinstalled and refreshed Firefox with no change.
Changing View/Character Encoding to Western changes the display to English characters, but the words are gibberish.
See attached screenshots.

It is the second screenshot that shows the wrong encoding.
I missed that that screenshot was when you switched to Western, so that is to be expected.

    Why does not the text "Powered by Adobe Forms Central" fästän man has paid form

    These forms are not embedded correctly. I'm surprised they even work. You need to go to the distribute tab, click Embed button, copy the embed code provided and then paste that into your HTML.

  • Why does safari display empty page when localhost service are requested using https?

    Why does safari display empty page when localhost service are requested using https and port 37542 (https://localhost:37542/), but displays page properly when regular port is used (https://localhost/).
    Both links return the same json response and work properly in other browsers. Certificate for localhost service was installed to the storage.

    Problem solved.
    I added headers for localhost service response and page displayed normally.

  • Why JTree node display text with uncomplete word with ...

    Some nodes with short word, for example Header, display uncompletely with ..., while some nodes display text with complete word which has more letters, for example Substation.
    Why?

    If you need further help then you need to create a "Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program (SSCCE)",
    see http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html,
    that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour, because I can't guess exactly what you are doing based on the information provided.
    Don't forget to use the "Code Formatting Tags",
    see http://forum.java.sun.com/help.jspa?sec=formatting,
    so the posted code retains its original formatting.

  • Safari does not display text on some sites.

    I am running OSX 10.10.2 and Safari 8.03
    Some sites I visit do not display text at all.
    For example: This site (http://neflin.org/) looks fine in Chrome, Firefox, whatever. But in Safari, it has no text at all. See below.
    Mail is having difficult with some text in html email too.
    I have rebooted, reset the PRAM, deleted preferences and turned off extensions. I checked the Guest account and created a new account and in all cases the problem persists.
    I have validated fonts in Font Book, restored standard fonts and looked for duplicates. Nothing.
    Flash and Java are up to date.
    Any thoughts?

    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this test is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; 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?
    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 OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The "Guest User" 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.

  • Why does non-ASCII text display improperly?

    One of the things that has long baffled me about OS X is the occasionally improper display of text on web sites. Sometimes, though less than before, the Mac still can't properly diplay non-ASCII characters. Today, for instance, I bought a GPS from Amazon, and the word nüvi has junk characters where the umlaut "ü" should be, as the text image below should show. Why is this? Is there a setting that corrects the problem?

    Hi Yawder, do you want to file a bug report on the problem that when Firefox generates the faux bold face for Droid Sans Mono it is doing a bad job compared with other browsers?
    You can submit that here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/

  • Why does my font/text change when I switch from Classic 3D to Ray traced 3D in After Effects?

    My font/text changes when I switch from Classic 3D to Ray traced 3D. Why is it doing this? Also, I cant get the font/txt to look the same after I switch from Classic to Ray traced. How can I get it to look the same?

    I am pretty new to After Effects so I hope it's not my inexperience that's causing the problem. (It probably is)
    I just updated to the most current version of AE.
    I am on a mac pro late 2013 12GB 6 core. Running OSX 10.9.4
    Okay so after looking at it a little closer, I think the color is what mostly changes. The first screenshot is the what the text look like with Classic 3D and the second screenshot is what it looks like after I change it to Ray traced 3D. Also under the "Mode" section..the pull down that says "Normal" disappears. I'm wondering why the font color is changing?

  • Why Does Mavericks 'Display' Show Two Black Bars During Video Playback?

    Hey guys. So I'm at college and I've been watching a bunch of movies on my Macbook.
    I own a 24-inch monitor where I play the movies through, as I connect it to my Macbook Pro 2012.
    When I was on Mountain Lion and I'd play a movie, the video playback would take up the entire 24-inch display screen perfectly.
    But now that I've updated to Mavericks, every movie including YouTube videos are stretched and small with two HUGE black bars on the top and on the bottom. I've tried changing the 'Display' options but it still remains the same and it's bugging me out so much that I may need to go back to Mountain Lion just because of this.
    Does anyone have any advice and may have suffered from the same issue? It worked perfectly on Mountain Lion but now it makes the videos look stretchy.

    Most YouTube content requires Flash ..  You're using Safari to view YouTube?
    If so ...
    Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
    Click Delete All under Browsing Data and Settings
    Not empty the Safari cache.
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
    Select:  Show Develop menu in menu bar
    Now click Develop from the menu bar. From the drop down menu click Empty Caches.
    Quit and relaunch Safari then try a video.

  • Why does air display no longer work from IMac, with mavericks to apple tv???

    Ever since last two updates of Mavericks, I have not been able to broadcast to apple tv as extended or mirroring desktop. It says it is avalable, and does nothing but a black screen on apple tv, and does not even come up as a desktop in display prefrences. What should I do?   IMac:10.9.2

    Hello, IamOMan. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Sometimes a simple power cycle of all devices can resolve this issue.  However, I would recommend taking a look at the section labeled Troubleshooting AirPlay Mirroring in the article below.  Make sure all updates have been processed for the Apple TV and Mac prior to troubleshooting.

  • Why does the display on my 27" iMac keep going black?

    This seems to be happening very often now. It started with just every once in a while.
    I will be using my iMac and the display goes black. It does NOT go to sleep. Just the display goes black. I do video and audio editing on my iMac and if I am listening to playback or a song while the screen goes black, I can still hear it. So, I know it has not gone to sleep.
    A way that I have gotten around this is by, once the display goes black I will then push the power button to make the iMac go to sleep. Then, I will push it again to wake it up. This usually works and the iMac will work just fine afterwards. Now what is happening, the iMac will go black again after a few seconds of being turned back on from sleep.
    I tried to run a diagnostic with an Apple person over the phone and for some reason my iMac will not respond to this.
    AND... It has gotten worse. I can't even boot up my iMac from a power down without the display going black.
    Any help?

  • Why does Photoshop display colors differently from the other applications even in sRGB mode ?

    Hello all !
    Here is my problem :
    Photoshop is set to use sRGB workspace (in edit/colors.../workspace/RVB).
    If I understand correctly this is how all native windows applications work.
    This means Photoshop and the other applications should display the same colors on a file with a sRGB profile.
    Now this is the case until I calibrate my monitor.
    When I do, Photoshop colors become different from the other applications (irfanview, explorer, browsers...).
    The only way I found to let everything display the same colors is to set Photoshop to use Proofing/RVB Monitor.
    What upsets me even more is that Photoshop colors look "better" to me (dark grays seem to dark to me in the other applications.)
    I have read that this is because Photoshop takes the new profile into account and others applications do not. But I don't think this is relevant here because everything is in sRGB so the only profile is my monitor's and I think calibration is handled globally by windows : everything (including browsers, explorer, and Photoshop) changes color if I choose to apply the monitor's profile or not with windows color management tool ("use my parameters for this device").
    Here is my system configuration :
    - Photoshop CS4 (11.0.2)
    - Windows 7 64 bits
    - HP ZR2440W and DELL 2209WA (these are not wide gamut screens)
    I have spent two days trying to figure the logics behind this and really am upset. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Don't hesitate to ask me if there is something that is unclear or some information I forgot to mention.
    Thanks in advance,
    Yannick

    That sounds like an invitation to continue to talk about the issue.  Fair enough.
    I'm not sure where you're getting "insecurity"...  I am just trying to help you help others more effectively.
    I invite you to re-read just the first sentence of what you wrote very carefully, putting yourself in the shoes of someone struggling with both the terminology and the concepts:
    Photoshop (CMS) reads an embedded ICC profile and CONVERTS it to the custom monitor profile for a theoretical 'true color' display
    Think about what "Photoshop (CMS)" might mean to a person who doesn't know the acronym might stand for "Color Management System" (which is I assume what you meant).  Adobe themselves don't call it "CMS", they use the acronym "CMM" (Color Management Module).  The term "CMS" is used in the computer industry for about a dozen different things.
    While a color profile might have been embedded in an image file before it was opened by Photoshop, Photoshop works on documents.  A profile is not "embedded" in a document, it is maintained by Photoshop with the document and describes the color values in the document.  If Photoshop opens a document without an embedded profile, depending on settings and user choices it might assign a profile or it might even operate on the document without color-management.  Oversimplification doesn't help people when they're trying to learn new things unless it's described as such, for example, "This is a bit of an oversimplification..." or "Generally speaking..."
    Not every monitor profile is a "custom monitor profile".  Quite often a standard profile (e.g., sRGB IEC61966-2.1) is associated with a monitor by the operating system as a default, or a factory profile is installed by a driver package or system update.  Your use of the term "custom" is a bit ambiguous and could be read as implying the creation of a profile using a calibration and profiling device specific to the particular monitor.
    Photoshop's color management code does not convert an embedded ICC profile at all (read carefully what you wrote).  As I said, it transforms color values.  That was the key error in your description that prompted me to comment.
    If ever there is a time to pick words carefully, it's in a color-management discussion.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
