Malformed HTML lang attributes affect the fonts are displayed

I use Firefox on Windows 7 with the option 'Allow pages to choose their own fonts' unchecked.

Since the update to v33 FF, I noticed that my choice of fonts is not met on some sites, for example, stackoverflow.com (in fact, all the stack Exchange sites) and duckduckgo.com. Instead the fonts are back to Times New Roman, MS Sans Serif and Courier New independently to know if I've specified these fonts as my serif or monospace default without in the FF options | menu content.

After a lot of digging around, I have noticed that the problem seems to be related to non-standard lang attributes in a HTML pages. For example stackoverflow.com has < body lang = "" > and duckduckgo.com a lang = "en_US." If I manually change the HTML lang = "en" or lang = 'en-US', then FF uses my choice of fonts properly.

I don't know enough about the HTML standard to say if these sites send me bad HTML, but FF started certainly treat less gracefully.

NB I can reproduce this behavior on OS X 10.10 (FF v33) and Fedora 20 (v32.0.2 FF).

Hmm, interesting. So what I see is as follows:

In Options > content > advanced, I put these Serif fonts:

  • Western character set: Times New Roman
  • Character set other languages: Book Antiqua

On this site and Google, who both are UTF - 8 encoded with lang = "fr" lang = "en - us" Western serif police is or.

On both sites you have identified, which are coded with attribute lang unrecognizable UTF-8, the wheelbase of Other Languages values is used.

So, it sounds as if affecting other languages fonts to your fonts should work around the problem.

Success?

  • Typekit Async loading watch CARE on subsequent loads, even after the fonts are cached

    I got my delivery value async typekit and see visits don't CARE even though the fonts are cached in the browser on the next page. I expect this behavior during the first visit of the page before the police has been cached but do not expect it after its been put in cache. I have the style event policies to manage inactive States and loading of fonts but want to prevent OF happening on pages when the browser has cached fonts and already the js.

    Hi marleneb,

    The behavior you're seeing is expected when you load Typekit using asynchronous ("' async: true" in your embed code "). When you use the asynchronous loading, fonts are always loaded in the background. This can cause a flicker of relief policies, as you have seen, until the Typekit font data is loaded from the cache of the browser or server.

    If you want to share the URL of your website, we can take a look and see if there are any other event police recommendations we can do to help minimize this CARE.  (Feel free to email [email protected] if you do not want to share the site on the forum.)

    • Leave the Muse and relaunch it.
    • Sign in with your adobe Id and password, and then try to download again.

    Solution 2:

    • Disconnect muse and Muse to quit smoking
    • Launch the application in creative cloud and sign out of it. Connect and disconnect activate Cloud Creative applications
    • Sign in again and update cloud Creative if you are prompted.
    • Launch the Muse of the applications tab of the CC app and try to download again.

  • Convert to PDF from word, the fonts are not included, the word doc record embedded fonts, but conversion does not incorporate fonts?  What should I do to get the embedded fonts?

    Convert to PDF from word, the fonts are not included, the word doc record embedded fonts, but conversion does not incorporate fonts?  What should I do to get the embedded fonts?

    I used times new roman in word 2013.  New file.  Apparently the version of adobe that I use will not incorporate.  I use the version line.  I was told that I have to upgrade to Adobe Pro.  I'm dealing with a patent application, so I can't share the document.  The patent office cannot accept that documents with embedded fonts.  My drawings that have been scanned and then converted are a problem too because I get an error based on the size of the page (23.6 "x 32.4") and I am unable to reduce this size in files from Adobe.com.

    Unfortunately I signed up for this product that get these two converted documents and uploaded only to discover that the conversions will not download.

  • Writeback - change the size of the text area displayed

    Hello
    I use writing in OBIEE 10. I know, we can define the size of the input area in ways that no one will be able to add more text than allowed. But even if I am to welcome 2000 characters the text box is displayed as a single line entry box.
    Is it possible to change the size of the text area displayed in particular to allow more than a single line?
    Thank you

    Hey,.

    You will need somehow to hack the CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) OBI when writeback (see table) is present instead of a HTML text box item, display a TEXTAREA HTML element. Currently, there is no other way to achieve this.

    You can read more about HTML input types here,
    http://www.w3schools.com/HTML/html_forms.asp
    and
    play with an example of a TEXTAREA HTML element here, http://www.w3schools.com/html/showit.asp?filename=tryhtml_textarea

  • I just updated my software on my mac to capitan and downloaded pictures from my i phone in my library. The photos are displayed correctly in the library, but when I download on eBay, Kijiji, Web site, they are on the side here.

    I've just updated my software on my mac to Capitan 10.11.4

    I had no problems until now when downloading pictures from my i phone, which is also aware of the software updates.

    Since the mac update, I now have problems with uploading photos.

    I have a set of fonts selected in adobe typekit, after that I used the code embedded in the html file, I still don't see the fonts displayed/shown in the browser. That's the fluidlayout working on a website using dremweaver.

    The "boilerplate.css" has his own fonts mentioned, but this has got something to do with the fonts using adobe typekit?

    To see a preview of the Typekit fonts locally, you should use a local test such as wamp, xampp or mamp server and configure it in your DW site definition.  See screenshot.
