Fonts to display only as outlines for the upgrade to Firefox 13

I first noticed this problem after upgrading to Firefox 13. I did a quick search on the forums, but I don't know if anyone else is having the same problem as me. I'm running on a laptop HP, Windows 7.

A lot of text on Web sites shows only the outlines of each character are visible. The police on these forums is affected, it could have something to do with specific fonts, I don't have the problem on other sites.

As it is quite a difficult thing to describe, I have included links to a few screenshots here:

BBC FOOD

Problem of fonts Firefox Forums

I also noticed the problem on the BBC Food website, for whatever policies to use these two sites, it has the same problem.

First of all, I noticed this when I was on the screen to update Java (like FF13 said that I had to upgrade the plugins). I updated to Java, assuming it was a Java based issue, but it must be something within Firefox.

Disabling 'Allow Web sites to use their own fonts' solves the problem, but everything is now in Times New Roman (as is the default font).

A test, I tried the same websites in Internet Explorer (which I never use) and it works fine.

One last thing, I guess I should mention - I design work on my laptop sometimes and I have a Windows of Helvetica (the font standard Mac) version. This has not posed no problem before, and I can't remove it because I need it to work!

Any advice would be really welcome. I have had a look in the code for two Web sites and does not make wise, which would suggest problems.

Thank you

Rob

OK, I found a solution. There is a problem with the way Firefox detects fonts Helvetica (not only in windows, but in OS 9 and OS X too). I noticed that it makes police Helvetica Neue strangely (on Twitter), as it makes it difficult to read and very crushed.

Here is the solution: http://www.keyvan.net/2010/10/helvetica-on-firefox/

Post advises to install an add on which allows a custom CSS script to run. In this script, it forces Firefox to change any instance of Helvetica, Arial.

Works a treat! Thanks again for your help, I would not have know the conclusions of the police add on that led me to the solution.

See you soon,.

    I need to create a table of contents in iPages but I want only one word for the title, not the line of holes. Or, how can I change the contents of the table? Thank you!

    Yes, you can have a one word title, by assigning a paragraph style title to this one word. No, you cannot change the text in a Table of contents, but you can change paragraph style font attributes (line) and add for example, a head of points between the types of OCD paragraph and page numbers. No part of the table of contents will not provide hyperlinks in exported PDF documents.

    When you look up in the menu bar, you can see the word iPages, or simply Pages. There is no product of iPages.

  • Cannot activate Windows 8 error "the Software Licensing service determind that specified only usable product key for the upgrade not to own pieces."

    Original title: invalid product key :(

    Today, I tried to load my computer and was faced with the blue screen error short story that my hard drive some how became corrupt and had no partition. Fortunately, I had a friend who told me step by step how to solve this problem using my hard drive in my brothers pc. When it came to reinstalling windows I booted the computer directly from my windows disc 8 and when I tried to activate the key once I was ready to I received an error Code: 0xC004F061Description: The Software Licensing service determind that specified only usable product key for the upgrade not for own pieces. Means that I can not use the key I bought and must buy a new one? It seems really unfair because I've already spent money on the upgrade.

    You upgraded to Windows 8, but did not have an earlier version of Windows Installer (error 0xC004F061)

    If you see error 0xC004F061 when you try to activate Windows 8, this means that you are using a product key for an upgrade of Windows 8 version and a previous version of Windows wasn't on your PC when Windows 8 was installed. To install a Windows 8 upgrade version, you must already have Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP installed on your PC.

    If you have formatted the drive until the upgrade of Windows 8 version has been installed, you will not be able to use your upgrade product key to activate Windows 8. To activate Windows 8, you will need to install your previous version of Windows, and then reinstall Windows 8. Help with the activation process, contact technical support.

    I need help for the upgrade of my current system.

    I have SBS 2008 with (Exch 2007, SQL 2005, Sharepoint, backupexec 2010 for sbs) licenses.

    I want to make the larger environment using the following:

    installation of Windows 7

    Hi, I am running Windows XP and I would like to install Windows 7 in order to play DVDs.  I pay for the upgrade?  I am not very computer, is - this easy to install so free.
    Thank you
    JO Smith

    First of all, you need not to install Windows 7 to play the DVD.  WinXP is perfectly capable of reading DVDs, as long as you have a DVD drive and the drivers appropriate devices and Codecs installed.

    Yes, if you want to upgrade to Windows 7, you will need to buy at least a license upgrade.  However, the "ease" of the upgrade process is relative, based almost entirely on your level of knowledge and skills.  In general, the process is fairly automatic: just observe the instructions on the screen.

    You should, before you continue, make sure that your computer is able to support Windows 7, and that the manufacturers of all connected devices (printer, scanner, webcam, etc.) have provided drivers for devices on Windows 7 for these items will continue to work.
