Wrong Font Rendering

I'm having a strange problem with Safari and all Safari-based browsers like OmniWeb. They don't render pages correctly at all. Words overlap each-other in a way that it is impossible to read. Text goes outside page and tables boundaries. It is a miss! Have a look at the following screenshot:

Any help please?
Thank you.

  • Wrong font rendering on DW CC

    Hi
    Testing Dreamweaver CC under Mac OS X 10.8.4 and don't render the fonts correctly.
    Using the default sourcecode font works properly ONLY, but if you change to Consolas for BBEDIT or Menlo you get this horrible render with bigger and bold fonts:
    Any way to fix this without using default sourcecode font? Want to use Menlo or Consolas BBEDIT and NOT Sourcecode font.
    Regards,
    Tom

    It's this one you're seeing:

  • Flex 4.5/FP10.2 web app: Font rendering problem

    Heya,
    Upped a web app from Flex 4.0/4.1 to Flex 4.5 & fonts started to render really badly (blurry & 'stronger').
    They are embedded as CFF, no errors or warnings gives. Also upgraded to Flash Player 10.2, which apparently has 'enhanched' font rendering.
    Haven't set applicationDPI on the s:Application tag, so DPI management should be disabled according to the docs.
    (See http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flex/mobileapps/WS19f279b149e7481c682e5a9412cf5976c17-8000.htm l)
    It's straight up @font-face embeds in a CSS file, nothing odd or wrong there.
    Is the case that this is how it's supposed to look now? In that case, how do I revert back to sane rendering?
    Do I need to configure 4.5 somehow to get it to do fonts right?

    Also tested Franklin Gothic, same deal. Tested on Mac (10.2) & PC (10.2 & 10.3). Flex 4.5 for both platforms.
    fonts.css:
    @font-face
    src: url("fonts/arial.ttf");

  • Font rendering in KDE 4

    I recently installed Arch (switching from Ubuntu 8.10) and decided to give KDE a try.  So far I'm mostly happy, but the font rendering isn't working so well.  There are two problems: the first is that fonts all look too thin.  The second is that most of them are way too big!  (For some reason they render properly in some places, like some sites online [e.g. Gmail], but they're way off in most applications.)
    I've tried the suggestions under "LCD" packages from the Arch fonts wiki, along with this guy's suggestions for setting up fontconfig.  I've also tried (variously) changing my DPI settings for KDM and System Settings -> Appearance -> Fonts (with aliasing anti-aliasing enabled or with system settings, and forcing the DPI to 120 or disabled).
    Oh, and I have a 15.4" widescreen 1680x1050 LCD monitor, which I think is (supposed to be) 129 DPI.
    What can I do to get fonts to look the way they should?

    OK, you problem is not with KDE. This weirded me out when I moved to Archlinux from Ubuntu too. In Archlinux you have to install all the fonts you want to use. The default fonts suck. So, You just need to install better fonts. You want the TrueType Fonts "ttf". You can install them with    pacman
    Try this to list all the font packages available.
    sudo pacman -Ss font
    These are some ones that are good
    ttf-dejavu
    ttf-freefont
    ttf-liberation
    you instal them you just do...
    sudo pacman -S ttf-liberation ttf-freefont ttf-dejavu
    Then you will want to open up the Konfiguration thing that you change the KDE configurations settings in and then change the fonts in there.
    Thanks for the tip!  I installed those (and a few others), and I definitely like (for instance) FreeSans better than the default Sans that most everything was using.  Most things look better; I think I'm going to have to tweak the hinting a bit still, but this is definitely an improvement.  Many of the things I thought were rendering related were actually just bad fonts, like you said.
    There are just a couple of problems remaining that I'm hoping will be just as easy to conquer...  First, some websites are still rendering horribly.  Take a look at this screenshot of this site, followed by this one:
    At first I figured it was a problem with Firefox (I know GTK doesn't always play nicely with KDE), but it looks the same in Konqueror.  A quick peek at the HTML for the first seems to say that it's asking for Verdana, Arial, or Helvetica...and I have Verdana and Arial installed.  (The second one calls for a ridiculous font, Palatino Linotype, which I don't have.)  Either way, though, the pages look totally wrong (the font is much too large) compared to any other machine I've seen it on (even my previous Ubuntu setup).   Does anyone know what's going on?
    One other example of font size weirdness: the digital clock plasmoid.  Here's what it looks like:
    The odd thing is that it looked like this for a while when I first installed Arch and KDE, and then played nicely for a few days...and now it's back to looking ugly.
    And finally, here are my font settings in System Settings:
    (And yes, I've rebooted since installing the new fonts and changing font settings, just in case.)
    Any more ideas?

    I think the spacing now is correct, while before it was wrong. The only "problem" is that you got used to a bad font rendering, and now that it has changed for better you feel like it's different and don't like it.
    Really, *most* of the problems that people find in Linux's fonts are just because they are used to the awful default fonts from Windows XP. Yes, people can even get used to those fonts and believe they're good!!! And when they see correct fonts in Linux they think they're bad...
    What I would do is remove the MS TTF fonts. They work bad in Windows and worse in Linux. You should use Bitstream Vera or DejaVu if you want good quality fonts (especially in web pages).
    But, then again, you might think that they look wrong just because you're not used to it... Oh, well...
    What does correct font / correct spacing mean ?
    IMO, that doesn't make any sense, because that's a totally subjective matter, like many other things in this world.
    BTW, I love how fonts look in Windows, and I think that must be the only thing MS got right. Thus, I'm using ms fonts in linux, and a rendering as close as possible (no autohinting or antialiasing or subpixel rendering).
    Similarly, I could find a woman beautiful that you would find ugly or just average. We are all different, and it's better that way

  • Font rendering in opera

    Hi,
    I am new to arch linux.
    I installed opera browser (which i get used to when i used windows) and I did not get the indic fonts properly rendered. I am particularly concerned about "tamil" fonts. I googled up and followed up some instructions but could not get it in opera. But the font renders correctly in chromium and firefox. So, the problem is concerned with opera? or any system changes should be made?
    Here are the screen shots:
    Here is what I should get: (used chromium)
    Here is what I get in opera:
    No matter what fonts I change in advanced-> international option in opera.. it keeps rendering them wrongly.
    Thankyou.

    Not sure if this will help, but to fix fonts in my Opera I typed "opera:config" in address bar. Looked up "fontconfig" in search, and made sure "Prefer fontconfig settings" is checked. Save and restart.
    Then I made a file /.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf with the following:
    <?xml version='1.0'?>
    <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM 'fonts.dtd'>
    <fontconfig>
    <match target="font" >
    <edit mode="assign" name="autohint">
        <bool>false</bool>
    </edit>
    </match>
    <match target="font" >
    <edit mode="assign" name="hinting">
        <bool>false</bool>
    </edit>
    </match>
    <match target="font" >
    <edit mode="assign" name="rgba">
        <const>rgb</const>
    </edit>
    </match>
    <match target="font">
    <edit mode="assign" name="lcdfilter">
        <const>lcddefault</const>
    </edit>
    </match>
    <match target="font" >
    <edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle">
        <const>hintfull</const>
    </edit>
    </match>
    <match target="font" >
    <edit mode="assign" name="antialias">
        <bool>true</bool>
    </edit>
    </match>
    </fontconfig>
    Fonts in Opera seemed to be better. But then I copied all of my windows fonts from C:/windows/fonts to /.fonts/windows
    So all of the fonts work good now.

  • Font rendering in certain GTK+ 3 applications

    In some GTK+ 3 applications, fonts appear to have a slightly reddish fuzz and seem a bit unclear; this does not differ by font, so I'm assuming it's a font rendering issue. Is there any known solution to this? I searched around a bit and couldn't find anything.

    Pse wrote:Hmm, looks like the wrong LCD filter is getting picked. What desktop environment are you on? I take it it is not Gnome, is it?
    It's just the default one; I'm using GNOME 3.10.
    genghizkhan91 wrote:Are you using the infinality packages?
    No; just plain fontconfig/freetype2.
    Regular font rendering settings are being used (fully antialiased, slight hinting, rgba, default lcd filter, etc.)
    Edit: Also, note that this issue had been present in several other applications but disappeared recently after certain upgrades; for instance, fonts were similarly fuzzy in the "About" section of most GTK+ 3 applications and the "Notifications" section of GNOME Control Center.

  • Not-latin font rendering is broken in Kf5 applications

    Hello.
    After upgrading of KDE4 applications to Kf5 ones, I have the font rendering problem in them.
    It's looks like that:
    As you can see, rendering of cyrillic fonts is broken. Absolutely wrong font family (should be Terminus) and font size.
    In KDE4 apps font rendering works correctly.
    Do someone have any suggestions how can I fix this?

    I can see picture without any problems. May be it is regional-specific problem of image hosting.

  • Font rendering or scaling issue in Illustrator - irregular letter heights

    I get a strange kind of scaling problem for some fonts in Illustrator as well as Photoshop.
    For example here is Helvetica Neue Light at 18px. You can see that the letters 'r' and 'v' are the wrong height:
    At font sizes above 18px I don't get a problem.
    In non-Adobe programs (e.g. Textedit) the font renders OK at all font sizes.
    Any ideas?

    Yep this is an incredibly annoying Adobe problem - and definitely not just with Helvetica. It's a lot of fonts at a lot of sizes - especially smaller sizes. It also happens with acrobat reader, whereas if you use apple preview the fonts render fine. Totally odd and disappointing.
    A somewhat decent workaround I've found is to add a rasterize live effect to the text. This can also help with small text on curved paths  - at angles - and also when you resize/rotate/modify an imported image to prevent it from looking like crap. Why it isn't just done automatically I don't know - but I'm happy to have discovered a temp work around at least.
    Hope that helps!

  • Font rendering looks terrible

    I have the Firefox 26.0 running on Windows 7 Ultimate and have noticed that the font rendering often looks terrible. For example, have a look at the lower left title on the New York Times:
    http://webspace.lenscritic.com/firefox/2.png
    Interestingly, when the page is first rendering I get a split second where it looks fine, but then it quickly changes to what you see above. Here's what it looks like in the early stages of rendering when it looks fine:
    http://webspace.lenscritic.com/firefox/1.png
    I have tried disabling hardware acceleration (in Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing) as well as setting the gfx.content.azure.enabled pref to false and gfx.direct2d.disabled pref to true, none of which made any difference.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

  • Font Rendering Got Bad After 32.0 Update

    After the recent update, the font started to get badly rendered. Kind of blurry with jagged edges and transparent parts. It used to be okay D:
    Sometimes it becomes okay for a moment as I scroll down on pages, and sometimes when I stop scrolling, the font stays as it is; as if there are specific positions for the text to render properly. However, not all of the fonts are affected. Only the ones inside the scroll area.
    On times that the font renders properly, the bookmarks font, title bar, and tab names are unaffected and still appear not-smooth. Same thing does not happen on other browsers. All my other system fonts look okay; it's really just Firefox.
    Restarting Firefox = didn't work
    Restarting Computer = didn't work
    Tried setting up Clear Type = didn't work
    Tried enabling and disabling Hardware Acceleration on Firefox = didn't work
    Tried enabling and disabling the Graphics card itself = didn't work
    Tried just about all of the suggestions I found on Google = none worked
    Tried complete uninstall and re-install of Firefox 32.0 = didn't work
    Graphics Driver are updated ~
    Windows is updated ~
    I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit
    Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6800
    I fixed it by downgrading to Firefox 31 which makes me sure that 32.0 is the culprit. As I was about to send the message on top; I tried downgrading as my last resort and it worked. Now I'm only sending this as a report. I am hoping you'll figure out what caused it because I am quite strict (OC) that everything in my PC must remain updated >_<; thus I want to use Firefox 32.0 as much as possible.

    No one to help on this ??????

  • Font rendering differences between Xfce and KDE

    Hi,
    I am using both KDE and Xfce (mostly Xfce with KDE apps) and I observed that there is a font rendering difference between Gtk (Xfce) and QT (KDE) apps.
    In both desktop environments I use dejavu sans font, size 9 and I have set RGB subpixel rendering and hinting to full.
    I created some screenshots of dolphin and thunar to illustrate the differences (right click and select view image to see the screenshots in full resolution)
    Can somebody help me to make gtk app fonts to look the same as qt ones? Or at least tell me why there is this difference.
    Thank you.

    I cant tell you why there is a difference, but this page may help you. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Font_Configuration
    I ended up installing the Ubuntu patched packages in the AUR, but there are different options.

  • Open pdf and the text is in written in wrong font

    hi
    i have a problem with my illustrator.
    i created a pdf file a long time ago. the text is written in times new roman regular.
    now when i open the pdf in illustrator it shows a wrong font. i think the wrong font could be new times romance or something)
    but if mark the text and change the font from regular in bold, it shows the right font (times new roman bold).

    i deleted and nothing happened.
    edit: i checked the the font with an fontanalyzer. it seems that the font was not new times romance. i deleted the analyzed font and now illustrator showe me the right font.
    thanks

  • Font rendering quality in Illustrator is terrible!

    What the heck rode Adobe when they implemented the new font engine?
    Why, oh why is Apple's font rendering so much better? And why wouldn't Adobe use something that's already readily available on the mac platform?
    I have a huge problem mocking up website layouts in Illustrator. Type looks much better in Firefox or Safari. How come, huh?

    I believe this is the result of sub-pixel antialiasing (SPAA), which optimizes text appearance on laptops. Illustrator's rasterizing doesn't SPAA, which is fine for most CRTs, print, and LCD displays that might be rotated.
    It's more a case of the OS being savvy enough to tell what kind of display you have and antialias appropriately. Illustrator's rendering engine does need to support SPAA.

  • Font rendering OS X issues

    Hi people,
    I baught a MacBook Air and I am new to OS X. I have this machine since 1 month and I simply cannot get used to the font rendering of OS X. I thought I get used to it after a while, but I don't. I feel like I have body lotion in my eyes all the time, fonts are really blurry and I can only work on that machine for some time. On my windows machine I worked all day long, with no such problems, but not in OS X. It is set to native resolution and I already set the font smoothing to 1, but this is still not enough, while turning font smoothing completely off makes everything look very ugly.
    I wonder why no one ever mentioned that in reviews, etc.? Does it not bother mac users? However, is there some other option (besides scaling down to lower resolution)? I have headache almost every evening, so this is really a problem to me.
    Thanks in advance.

    Do any other applications behave like that? Or just these two?
