Zooming in Safari and bigger fonts

Their are times I want to make text larger in Safari than it'll seem to allow. A good example of this is when using the mobile version of Google Reader. That site doesn't zoom at all and as far as I'm aware their is no way to make the font size a bit bigger. I'd like to make it a bit bigger for easier reading.
Is their a way to either enlarge the font size (akin to command-+ on a web browser on my Mac like Safari or Firefox) or to force a site to zoom even when it is displaying at "the proper size" already?

No it won't. Not on all sites. You cannot zoom forever. Try the mobile Google Reader Mobivle version <http://www.google.com/reader/m/view/>. You can't do an expand (reverse) pinch and have it zoom. At least it does not for me.

  • Safari and Mail fonts problem 10.4.2

    So I cleaned my fonts up and left the core fonts in system>library>fonts as one is supposed to but now I get this [img src="http://www.markclay.net/Picture%201.png]. Mail also presents the same problem .
    Firefox offers no such problem.
    I've set the fonts on safari and mail to be one's I know are running but to no avail. Any clues?
    Thanks
    Marko

    What the h was going on
    there then?
    Some non-Unicode fonts that users install are constructed in ways that make them incompatible with OS X Cocoa apps, because they will replace the real fonts and generate gibberish. Helvetica Fractions and Times Phonetic are the two most common.

    From the Safari menu bar click View > Zoom In  or press Command + on the keyboard to increase the size of the page.
    If that doesn't help, open System Preferences > Accessibilty > Settings then select Zoom on the left.
    You can also increase the resolution on the dislplay. System Preferences > Displays > Display > Scaled
    You can also get help by posting in the Apple Support Communities > Vision forum here.

  • Font change in Safari and Firefox after installing Snow Leopard...

    My apologies if this has been addressed:
    Immediately after updating from 10.5.8 to 10.6.2 the fonts displayed in both Safari and Firefox have changed. They are now a barely-legible "handwritten" font. I have attempted to resolve the issue to no avail. The issue only seems to be present with Safari and Firefox- there are no applications (that I have noticed yet*) that are affected. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

    Hello, NYeBeing & welcome to discussions
    I have attempted to resolve the issue to no avail.
    What steps have you taken, exactly, so we don't repeat, etc. I'll assume you've already used OS X's FontBook to check font health & remove dupes, and you've cleared existing font caches using Snow Leopard compatible tools such as QnyX or FontDoctor.
    What languages are enabled?

  • Safari 3 Update Leads to Tears and Bad Font

    what a day.
    so i've updated my mac os x version 10.4.11, which included the new safari 3 update.
    until i decided to do this, i would use safari and safari only because firefox and netscape had very hard to read fonts in them (also Very slow!!-on this machine), of which i've found you cannot change through preferences. well, the update to safari also changed its fonts to match the ones in firefox and netscape. it hurts my eyes/head to read and is extremely annoying. i decided to throw away safari, in hopes of downloading the old one, only to find that this isn't possible after you've completed the 10.4.11 update (see this post: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1241335&tstart=0 ).
    sounds like it's going to be a matter of finding my disc before i can have safari again (i'm in the process of moving to a new home). although, i imagine that even after reloading safari i will still have this font issue. any ideas to why all my browsers have the same messed up font? it's almost like there is a gap within each individual letter. see here: http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee41/Lulu_Lagoon/Picture8.png
    my @ symbols do not show up in this font either.

  • Hi, how can I keep the same zoom level for all the pages I view in Safari and even when I close and open it.  Indeed with a 27 inch Imac I have a lot of space, most of the websites are built for smaller resolutions  and my sight is dropping !   Thx

  • Fonts Do Not Display Correctly in Safari and Firefox

    Certain fonts do not display smoothly in Safari and Firefox. They appear to have little pieces of the letters missing. I'm sure others have experienced this problem before but I could not find how to fix this. On the Apple Discussions the fonts look fine... on Google for example, they look messed up. I do not know specifically which font(s) are displayed weird but it happens frequently. This happens in Safari and Firefox on my MacPro and MacBookPro. Is there a setting to fix this?
    Thanks,
    -flash

    Hello Flash, welcome to Apple discussions; )
    Look for Helvetica Fractions and Times Phonetic Fonts, if you have them,
    they can be the usual suspects.
    Check the Text encoding in both Safari & FF, under the "View" menu.
    In System preferences-> Personal (top section) in Appearance tab->
    on the last portion of the panel Font smoothing Style: set that to Automatic
    If those don't help, see this users tip excellent article Kurt Lang's ~ Font Management in Mac OS X
    Look into this application to find any corrupt font[s]Font Finagler
    Good luck, let us know how you fare.

  • Problem with fonts display in safari and mail ???

    hello !
    sometimes i have problems with fonts display
    safari use a mathematics font instead of my preferences fonts
    i have to copy-paste in a text-editor to see the right font !!!
    i have the same problems sometimes in mail
    is anybody have infos about that problem ?
    thanks !
    p.s. mail version 1.3.11 - safari version 1.3.1

    OS X cocoa apps like Safari and Mail don't like non-Unicode fonts using common names that replace Latin with symbols or other scripts. Helvetica Fractions and Times Phonetic are common culprits. You need to remove such fonts to solve the problem.

  • How to keep the resized, bigger, font size while browsing back and forth in one window?

    I´m a newbie with Firefox. I like to use a bigger font size as my eyesight is not as good as before. There is one problem with Firefox: the font size goes back to smaller every time I return to the previous page. Also when the font is bigger I have to draw the page to the left and to the right to be able to read the text. I did not have this kind of a small nuisance with Opera. Help needed.

    Try the Default FullZoom Level extension:

  • Safari and Leopard seeing fonts which aren't installed?

    I'm having a problem in which Leopard seems to be seeing fonts which aren't installed.
    I like to have my web pages display in Helvetica, and I'm pretty obsessive about cleaning out all of the places OS X and the various Adobe and Microsoft apps stash fonts. With Tiger and earlier this wasn't a problem, but Leopard seems to be doing something new. Specifically, Safari--and only Safari--shows that Georgia, Verdana and Times are installed and renders web pages with them, even though I have removed all of those fonts from my system.
    I have double and triple checked to make sure none of those fonts are left on my drive. I searched for them, took all the instances I could find, zipped them, copied them onto a second hard drive and deleted the instances on my primary drive. Searching with Spotlight doesn't find them. I open Font Book and it doesn't see them. No other application shows the fonts as available. If I open up Fontexplorer it doesn't show those fonts as active or available, and I have used it to clear caches and restart. Yet if I go to Safari->Preferences->Appearance, the fonts show up as available, and only in Safari.
    Does anyone know if Apple has made some change in Webkit/Safar, or do I have some old cache file sitting around? I did a Archive and Install, and preserved my user settings. Could there be a file hanging around I don't know about?

    does it pre-load/pre-install fonts into your system you dont have or something???
    It can't add software to your system that is not there somewhere already, but it will activate fonts no matter where they are for use by an app if the app requests the font. You can set it to ask you first before it does this.

  • How do i make the font on my safari toolbar bigger

    i just purchased an iMac and the font on the safari bookmark menu is too small.  How do I change it?

    While you can increase the size of the font your web browser displays a font with (look under the Advanced tab of Preferences) you cannot resize the menubar or menu items. You can change the resolution by selecting Displays in the System Preferences and clicking on the scaled item. From there you can choose a different screen resolution. However, unlike old CRT displays, LCDs have a single 'native' resolution and everything else is a derivation which may or may not be entirely clear. You may also find that some programs won't run well in the lower resolutions.

  • Safari and Zoom still Buggy. Any Other Workaround?

    Hi. Even after the update Safari and zoom are still buggy. I still haven't felt that transition from Snow to Lion for some reason (most of the Lion features could be simplified and not separated as different apps actually, dashboard, mission control, spotlight and launchpad could be one, same with App Store and itunes and iDVD and Quicktime, and all those could just be in iTunes- the features have become an app overload). It's easy to do a workaround using another browser but sometimes you want to use just Apple products:) Sometime I wonder if Apple will still have that enthusiasm even after Steve won't lead them anymore. That could be depressing for the employees I guess. If Lion's bugs are a sign of that lack of enthusiasm and maybe depression, I hope they get their drive back. Thank you in advance.
    Gbu.

    It's Lion resume feature which is not good in this situation.  Now try closing Safari by using option+command+Q keys combination.
    Open Safari again and I hope you have a normal homepage. You can then in menu Safari > Reset Safari...
    Check the ones you like delete (you might have to login again after this).

  • Fonts won't appear on Safari and certain pages on Firefox

    Hi, when I open Safari and go to a website, the fonts wont appear. The picture attached shows it better. Whats going on and is there any solution in my control? Thanks.

    The block A's ...
    Most likely from having a third party font manager installed.
    See my post here >  All I see is the letter "a": Apple Support Communities
    If it's not a third party font manager issue, could be duplicate or corrupted fonts.

  • CRAZY FONTS!  Garbled garbage in Safari and help files.  How do I fix it?

    I wish I could post a screen shot.
    Some pages in my browser, particularly in Wikipedia, display the bulk of the content in numerals that look like fractions--0 over 02 8996 to the 4th--with an occasional hyperlink (bold, blue, and/or underlined) appearing in regular Latin characters. If I copy the nonsense and paste it into anothe app like excel, it displays in Latin characters and I can read it. And that has been my workaround. But I'm getting tired of it. WHY does Safari (and today, a help system, which wasn't ANY help at all) display these fractional numbers instead of alphabetic letters? And how can I stop it? It doesn't appear linked to the font I choose to display in.

    The problem is due to an underlying bug in the WebKit.framework, which is the framework Safari, Mail, and other applications use to display HTML content. The bug causes the glyphs from Fraction style fonts to be displayed in place of the plain-style glyphs, even when the web page specifies the plain style should be used.
