A fix to web fonts not displaying correctly

by Kyra | Apr 17, 2012 | Miscellany, Typeface, Web Design

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.

Have an awesome day!

It’s Tuesday. The sun is shining. I’m feeling inspired.

Periodic Table of Typefaces

This is one of my favorite desktop wallpapers. And, yes, I do think I need one of these posters hanging above my desk. Or maybe the vinyl version. Oh wait, my “work table” is my desk. But usually I just end up working at the kitchen table, so I’ll need to find the perfect spot for it.

Font Love

Maybe I should turn this into my Friday feature. But for now, it’s Wednesday, and here’s a new font to drool over. This seems like such a perfect, casual, handwriting font.
