A fix to web fonts not displaying correctly
Just a little tip in case anyone is having a similar problem. For the past few weeks I’ve had issues with several websites (er, many) not displaying fonts correctly. Usually, only the titles, but at times all of the text on a site.
Here’s an example of how one site was displaying fonts for me (google chrome on the left, firefox on the right):
I came across this extremely useful and quick tip for fixing (at least for now) the issue at N7 Studios.
In a nutshell,
- Open Terminal
- Type in atsutil databases -removeUser
- Type in atsutil server -shutdown
- Type in atsutil server -ping
This worked for me. I just had to restart chrome before the fix worked. I hope google will come up with a solution to this though because it’s happening with many of their own fonts! Hope this helped.

A few books to add to my “to-read” list. The list is ever growing, but these are some good ones.
