OpenSUSE :: Firefox Font - Gaps In Alphabets Are Making Them Difficult To Read
Jul 9, 2010
I am facing some problems in font rendering issue for Urdu (South Asian language). Actually the alphabets are being displayed as, for example, "a p p l e" instead of "apple" - if you see this website, probably you will see the gaps in alphabets are making them difficult to read.
I have installed at least 10 different Urdu fonts but still no help, then I tried adding:
MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO="0" to /etc/environment but it also did not helped.
I am using OpenSuse 11.2, Firefox 3.5.10

OS11.2 Kde4.3, It is quit small and the font style contributes to its difficulty to read. How can I change it? The font in everything else is good.

[Code]..
how to solve this issue? There are several websites showing ugly fonts, the rest is fine.

I disabled font smoothing in control center, but Firefox is still using smooth/blurry fonts. Everything else is how I want it. How to turn this off? I prefer the old ugly crisp fonts.

I've seen Flash come up quite a bit in these forums as a target for many complaints for users. I was wondering what exactly is the issue with Flash including the 64bit support, the sound issues etc. Why is such a widely adopted web app having such a difficult time?

Quick question. I need to ensure that all my files within specific folders are marked as being read only if the folders name is 'Forms' for example. There may be many 'forms' folders on the server within many different directories.It is a requirement that everything within these folders are marked as being read only but people are not doing so for whatever reason, and would therefore like for it to be done automatically i.e. a script executed by a cron job every eve to esnure that all files within the forms directories are marked read only.

I'm having difficulty making my FAT32 drive capable of read/write. I followed the instructions here (http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Maverick#Windows_Compatibility) and added the following line to my /etc/fstab file:
Code:
/dev/sda4 /media/WinD vfat quiet,defaults,rw 0 0
However, when I rebooted the drive is still read-only

Code:
I am trying to do a search to check if the input is using alphabets and nothing else.
I tried using [[:digit:]] and [[:alpha:]] but none seems to work
When i use digit, it read 22.k as alphabet and not as a wrong syntax.
For alpha , it does not allow me to input data which has spaces such as " hello world".

I'm having trouble getting the usual display in firefox as I had in fedora 12. Here is what my fedoraforum.org page looks like: By twohot at 2010-07-19
I suspect something is wrong with the interpretation of "sans, sans-serif, serif ... etc" within fedora but i don't know how to go about fixing it. I'd like to leave the default settings in firefox as this has been the case in previous releases.

I'm running Fedora 13 x86_64 on a Dell Precision Workstation with a Dell Flatscreen Monitor. My fonts render well everywhere, using Dejavu fonts, but in Firefox and Epiphany they have these terrible yellow outlines and jagged edges.Has anyone else seen this? I've only noticed it recently (since the upgrade to Fedora 13), but it also happens on a Fedora 12 machine at home.

I know this is a minor nuance and it doesn't effect usability at all but it still bugs me. I was using gnome on Ubuntu and decided to install KDE. KDE didn't work properly and so I uninstalled it. But now Firefox still has the KDE font and I can't figure out for the life of me how to change it back. I've had this problem before on another computer and I can't remember if I fixed it on there or not.

I am having a huge problem checking the data I input to make sure it is correct. What I am trying to achieve is when I input a value, it will check if the input is all digits and if it is not, check to see if it contains certain alphabets. Thus for example, if I were to input in data such as "11A" , the program will then inform me "There is an important alphabet in the program." This would be my expected output. Here is the program I have wrote...
Code:
int test(string r ){ const int arraySize = 10;
char array2[arraySize2] ={'A','B','E','F','G','H','J','K','N','O','P','Q','R','S','T','U','W','Y','Z'};
for(int cntr = 0; cntr <r.length(); cntr++)
if(!isdigit(r[cntr])){ for(int new1 =0; new1<arraySize2;new1++)
for(int cntr1 = 0; cntr1 <r.length(); cntr1++)
if(array2[new1] == r[cntr1]){ return 2; //will return2 when it finds the same
// char in the array and the string r. } else{ return 3;
//will return 3 when there is a char
//in the string which isnt in the array
} } else { return 1; // will return 1 when string is all digit.
} int main() { string r = "11D"; test(r);
if(test(r) == 1) { cout << "ALL ARE DIGITS" << endl;
} if (test(r)== 2) {
cout << "There is an important alphabet in the program." << endl;
} if (test(r)== 3) { // testRoman(r);
cout << "There is an Alphabet in the String which is not in the Array" << endl;
} }
So, the problem I am facing is when I input in data such as 11 or A , the prog will come out the right input. But if I were to put in data such as "11A" , the output coming out will be "ALL ARE DIGITS". The problem which causes this seems to be in the return statement , as once as it finds the first char which is a digit, it will then return 1 and not continue checking the rest of the string. Is there a way I can stop or continue a loop if it has met the condition I stated? What I can do or any other way available for me to check my input?

I'm coming from windows and now I've switched to ubuntu. I find firefox 3.5 (and now 3.6) very hard to read. I'd like to have the same font rendering on my ubuntu than on my windows xp, using internet explorer with cleartype enabled. I've searched A LOT on Internet, tested like 20 different .fonts.conf. However I still can't get what I want. Take a look at my screenshots :[URL]
On the left : ubuntu (Firefox 3.6) - on the right : XP (Internet Explorer I'd like to have the same fonts than on the right.
Picture "enabled.png" is the closest display I can get. But it's still not perfect.
I took the .fonts.conf from this site : [URL]
I've also tried the fonts from the site [URL]Look here : [URL](this one is different : IE8 is on the left)
My fonts config in firefox is the same than on windows (Times new roman, arial, courrier new). And of course I've installed the ttf mscorefonts package.
I don't say that IE is the best thing in the world It's only because I've used it a lot and now it's hard to browse sites with different fonts.

I'm using Arch Linux with KDE 4.6 and Firefox 5.0, and I had to install a GTK+ theme to make apps like Firefox look nicer.Now, I have another problem—Firefox doesn't use font smoothing on sites, even though KDE itself uses font smoothing. I didn't see anything related to that in settings.

I changed the gnome font settings to make the fonts sharper, but firefox doesn't listen to gnome settings apparently, and the fonts are fuzzy on my screen. i found some methods to fixing it in 9.04, which i did and it worked, but i'm not finding any posts on how to fix this in 10.04. has anyone figured this out yet?

able to find anything on this particular issue. The problem I'm having is that the contrast ratio of text in firefox seems very inconsistent. For example: if I'm reading an article on NYtimes, from one paragraph to the next it looks like some sentences are in bold-face and others are not. If I refresh the page, it'll be different areas that are or aren't bf. Sometimes they even change (getting darker or lighter) as I'm sitting there reading. I tried to take a screenshot but unfortunately the text all becomes uniform as soon as I hit prt-scr so the image doesn't show the effect.
Another example is viewing my personal favorite forum where threads that I haven't read are in bf as opposed to those I have read which are normal. The problem is that when I do a mouse-over of the bf threads the font rendering becomes more greyed out. It's still bold-face, just not as dark.
A final example is in text-entry boxes. As I'm typing this right now the line I'm on looks normal but the paragraph above seems to go from regular to bold-face from one line to the next. The paragraph above that looks entirely bold-face...
It did occur to me that this could be a monitor issue or even a vid-card issue. But it's definitely not monitor because I can scroll the whole screen and the variation moves with the text... And it's not vid-card because I installed Chrome as a check and it doesn't have the same problem. None of the above symptoms carry over to that application.

I don't like the subpixel font smoothing (aka ClearType) in my browser window. Is there a way to switch it off? Switching off font smoothing in System > Preferences > Appearance is affecting Ubuntu itself, but not Firefox. Besides, the smoothing for Ubuntu itself is ok, but I don't want this in my browser. How can I disable it?

Somehow I manged to mess up my firefox menu fonts.I'm running ubuntu 10.04, updated as of this posting's date.Please see the attached picture of FF (ugly, thin, menu font) alongside OpenOffice (normal menu font) on the same gnome desktop. Interestingly, FF looks little better on the screenshot than it does on my monitor. Something is seriously wrong.
Symptoms:It is only the FF menus that are affected, not the content of the pages that load, or the menu I get when I click on the window title bar (Maximise, Minimise .... Close)
No other applications are affected - all their menus are normal.
No other users are affected - their FF has normal menu fonts. So I am thinking it has to be some file in ~ that is messing this up.
I liked KDE3, but it seems that is history now, and KDE4 is not for me, so I moved to gnome. I am still getting used to it, but it's functional.All was well until I installed the KDE4 desktop, because I thought I'd "give it another try". I logged into KDE4 and ran it under my own username. I managed to open firefox, but that was about it. I logged out because although KDE4 is pretty, it's still useless for my needs.So I went back to gnome, and that's when the problem with FF first appeared.My mouse-pointer cursor has also changed. Instead of a "clockface" spinning when something is waiting, I now have two small circles orbiting an invisible point. No big deal, though it might be relevant.

I have been using Ctrl +/- to expand/shrink the displayed font on web pages in Firefox since I figured out how to do it back in version 0.something. Today I happened to be accessing this page https://personal.vanguard.com/us/fun...T#hist=tab%3A2 and I noticed that when I expanded the font the text to the right side was pushed off screen - not unusual - but that I did NOT have a slider at the bottom of the browser window to allow me to move to the off screen text. I continued to press Ctrl+ until the font would no longer expand. At the very larges font the slider reappeared however, it will only move a little bit to the right.
I then accessed the page with Internet Explorer and Firefox 3.5.8 on an XP box - the slider appeared as expected and I can slide to the right to see all of the enlarged text.
I created a new user on my Ubuntu machine, signed on as that user and viewed the page. Again, no issues. Seems like something in my profile rather than the web page itself or Firefox as installed on my PC.I tried disabling the few addons which I use (Noscript, Addblock Plus, etc.) - no improvement.I now created a virtual machine (VMWare) and installed Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit. Tried the page in Firefox and it works fine. Then I copied my profile to the virtual machine - the page experiences the same problem. So obviously there is SOMETHING in my profile which is causing the issue.
And for my next trick I replaced the copy of prefs.js in my profile on the VM with prefs.js from the default profile. Other than forgetting everything I have ever configured in Firefox, this has fixed the problem. But not a pretty way to go.

When I had Firefox 3.6 on both my desktop and laptop, after reading a how-to, I changed the desktop config so it looked, to websites, as though Firefox was running on a windows machine. I needed that because some websites still believe there is only one operating system (for the most part those are government run sites). how to change the config in Firefox 4 to make it look as though it is running on a windows machine?

After installing Linux Multimedia Studio the fonts on my firefox4 browser has slightly changed. I remember during the installation that it installed some fonts so maybe it has something to do with that.
The default font settings on my firefox has remained the same but it looks different than before. On certain websites like facebook the main font looks different. I uninstalled LMMS thinking it would bring back the default font settings but it hasnt.
Any ideas how I can bring it back to my default settings on firefox?

I just recently move from win 7 to opensuse, and still new on linux. just wondering if there is solution for thin font on firefox. I already search google for solution, the best solution so far is to lower screen resolution to 1024x768 (I prefer 1280x800).
Other tempt I tried are:
1. install freetype2, but the setting in "about:config" page on firefox aren't there. already try to create new boolean, but no effect at all.
2. install dejavu font and use it on firefox, but the font is still thin.
3. set minimum font size to 18. easier to read, but too big and messing up with website layout.
currently I'm using:
-dejavu font, minimum font size 18
-allow web to use own font (enable)
here's screenshot: [url]
