Why is the font used in context menus displayed incorrectly/differently?

hello, I upgraded from Fx 3.6.23 to 8.0.1 and found the font rendering in context menus to be "wrong" or at least different/changed in 8.0.1 - it is like a bold font, but also slightly pixelated... and quite ugly.
How do I get a normally rendered font in my context menus?
I thought it might be something inside my user profile so I created a brand new profile and still had the same problem.
Thanks =)
UPDATE Nov. 28 - I also just noticed that both favicon graphics AND fonts are not rendering correctly (or as they have in past versions of Fx) when I push and hold the the forward and back buttons down.

You can do a check for corrupted and duplicate fonts and other font issues:

Try to disable hardware acceleration.
*Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

  • TS2167 I changed my header in iweb and when I published the site the font had shrunk and it displayed incorrectly. It was only on my home page, not on others. I have iweb 3.0.4. Help!?!?

    Just in-case anyone els runs into this, I figured it out... I was working from my hotel and apperantly the fire wall was not allowing anything to uplaod, but I wasn't getting an error message from iweb, it would say that everything was published succesfully even though it wasn't. Once I went home and used my connection eveything worked fine.

  • Why does the font used for iTunes show as an outline?

    I cannot get the font used for iTunes to change from an outline. I am using Suitcase Fusion and have turned on and off the Office fonts etc.

    Try this: Go to Control Panel, Fonts.
    On the left pane click "Font settings" > uncehck "Hide fonts based on language settings" > Click "Ok" at the bottom. Restart you computer just to be sure the setting went through. See if that helps.

  • Why is the font Garamond Premier Pro bought through Adobe different than the website?

    Hello,
    I really liked the font from Adobe, Garamond Premier Pro and I purchased it, hoping to get great documents but unfortunately, it does not look crisp even if I put the size at 14, put it in bold... It looks completely different than the demo and I don't know why it looks the way it does.
    I've attached a Word document which represent the way it looks. Hopefully you will see what I mean.
    Thank you,

    fbuerg,
    You are welcome. Glad my good fortune was helpful to you.

  • Why is the font of text fields different from document-text

    I am using forms in my pdf.
    I am inserting Text-Fields in the pdf-form.
    I set the color and size of text as the same as the document text as calibri 9.
    1) Why is the font different between the text-field and document content eventhough both are black font of size 9 and of type calibri. The font in the text-field is more gray and blurry. It doesnt look the same as the text in the rest of the document.
    2) why do the document-text font options differ from the text-field font options.
    One has only sizes with even numbers like 8, 10, 12. The other has odd numbers also. Why does the calibri font have 2 different size ranges for the text-fields and document-text/content.

    Yes you are correct, it is with the setting of the properties.
    Where do i report this then if it is not with the SDK but the manual setting of properties.
    Also, how do i alter this ussue with the SDK, what are the commands, does it have to be done only by Javascript?

    Kirby:
    . What version of OS X?
    10.6.8 - latest Snow Leopard.
    . How are you determining the size of the Vault?
    Using Finder: "Size 5.8 MB on disk".
    . What exactly did you do that you describe as "I decided to set up a Vault to back up to the Time Machine external hard drive.".  In general, Time Machine should be on a drive dedicated to it (that is, with nothing else on it).
    Oops, right: I meant Time Capsule. Time Machine is backing up to the Time Capsule, but I thought I could also use the Time Capsule as an external hard drive as well as a target for Time Machine. So, this is a non-no?
    . How many images show up when you select "Photos" from near the top of the Library tab of the Inspector and filter using the Filter Rule "File Status" with the argument "Referenced"?
    1. Thanks for getting me to learn Aperture's "filtering" (Command-F). Cool.
    2. No images. Aha. So, do this mean all the masters are in the iPhoto library?
    But, using Finder:
    iPhoto Library: 18.2 GB 8,014 items
    Aperture Library.aplibrary: 20.6 GB 7,945 which would be right: I did some deleting after importing from iPhoto
    Aperture Vault: 5.8 MB

  • How can I change the fonts used in Yosemite

    It would appear that Apple have gone out of their way to make OS X as difficult to use as possible with the change of fonts colours. To make matters worse it would appear we all have to adhere to the Apple accessibility rules if we want to change anything ! Guys, the world is more complex.
    I don't have any visual impairment as such other than I'm in my 50's so i'm in that vari-focal time of life, which is normal. That means a bit more definition on the font helps - so I'd like to change the font & maybe the font size across the entire system. I can do that in M$ Windows !
    I'd like to change the colours of the fonts used in some applications e.g.. Mail where for some completely mad reason Apple are using a grey font, on a grey background, a mustard font on a white background. MAD. What idiot comes up with this stuff & who signs it off ??????? Once again all this is easy to change on every other OS I've worked with (Solaris, Linux, Windows).
    Now you might think that I'm Apple bashing, I guess I am in a way but I've been an Apple user for more than 15 years, I have iMac, Macbook, Macbook Pro, Macbook Air, 3 iPads, iPhone. I like the products but things are not as configurable as they should be. Just allowing people to click a couple of radio buttons to switch to different modes on the display DOESN'T cut it.

    Too old to care now.

    I have a MacBook Pro , Model Identifier MacBook Pro8,2 , MAC OX S 10.7.4
    I noticed that if I open Final Cut Projects created on other/older models MacBook Pro Laptops or MacPro Desktops, the fonts used in the previously created FCP projects, change their font spacing! which distorts the look of the Text that was written, by oevrlapping on other things that were put & present on the screen.. Another similar probelm is that the Vector shaped used for example to highlight certain words or shapes, also change their position on the screen so that they no longer highlight exact things that we once used these vectors to highlight or outline... Anyone knows how to solve this problem please?? I made sure that the same fonts are available in the Library in both old and newer computers...
    thanks in advance..

    You might want to take your question to the FCP forum - if you copied all fonts to your Library>Fonts folder and restarted they should be recognized by all applications. I know that this works for Adobe products, anyway.

  • CS2- How to get the fonts used in a document ?

    Hi,
    Can anyone tell how to find the the fonts used in the document directly without iterating through the text art used in the document.BCOZ if i iterate through each text frame or character my plugin works very slowly.I want to speed up the process of finding & replacing the fonts like wat we do manually in the "Type-> Find Font" menu thru my code.
    Please post ur comments on this .If there is no direct option to find &replace the fonts used in the document ,pls let me know the simplest logic of finding & replacing all occurances of a font in a doc so that my process of doing this should be faster.
    Thanks in advance.
    myRiaz

    As far as I know, there's no way to get a list of fonts in use in a document without iterating over the document and compiling a list by asking every piece of art.
    If you want to trigger 'Type > Find Font' there might be a way to invoke that using Actions (AIActionManager.h). I'm not sure if that would help or not though.
    This probably isn't very helpful depending on what you're doing, but I think this is meant to be handled by using character styles. That way you can change a style and update any related text instantly. Not much help though if you're just trying to write a S&R font plugin.

  • Programmatically list the fonts used in a PDF

    Hello.
    I want to make a list of all the fonts used in a PDF. After reading (again) the ISO-32000 standard, I tend to think that the only way is to cycle through the pages and list the fonts used in each one.
    Is there any other (and faster) way to do this?

    Nope - that's the only way.
    And don't forget, that you can NOT just look at the Page's Resource dict.  You need to do a full recursive walk down the content stream finding all graphic objects that themselves have resources.  Oh, and don't forget Annotations!

  • What is the font used in the buttons in Titanium skin?

    Hello,
    I need to know what the font used for the buttons (Contents,
    Index, etc) in the WebHelp Titanium (RoboHelp 6) skin. I need to
    know because I want to use this skin, and also include a Print
    button.
    Thanks!
    Jennifer Bennett

    Hi Jennifer. If you download the skin and open it in the skin
    editor you'll see the font used next to the "Font" button near the
    bottom r/h/ corner. You can also use the button to change the font
    if you wish.

    You can right-click on a web page and select "Inspect Element" to open the Inspector (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer).
    You can check the font used for selected text in the Font tab in the right pane of the Inspector.

  • The font for my toolbars/menus/tabs/awesome bar are wrong.

    I downloaded F4b8 yesterday and found that the font used in the toolbars/tab titles/address bar/menu were wrong. At first it was showing as Algerian something or other, which I believe was a font I had installed. I deleted this font, and the font in all those areas is now Courier New. I'm assuming this is not how it is supposed to be. I tried using userChrome.css to set the font to Helvetica, but that didn't work. (I'm assuming I probably didn't do it right since I'm not familiar with it).
    I've uninstalled and reinstalled a couple of times. I also uninstalled the old version of firefox I was using (3.6) and it still is the wrong font. I'll try redownloading the install file and see if it was corrupted somehow.
    Note: This is not the fonts generated within the actual webpage or in text fields within webpages. All of those fonts are being displayed correctly.
