Forum Font Change?

Is it my imagination? Or maybe Snow Leopard has done something to Safari? But all the fonts in the forum now appear to be in a much heavier typeface, bold or heavy. Was a change made to the forum's CSS?

If so, I find it a little heavy for everything.

I haven't moved this machine to Snow Leopard yet. If you go to the Safari preferences here is what mine looks like:

Don't know if this is helpful.... especially if this is the only site that seems to have changed.

I did a little searching after your response and discovered others with similar font issues in Snow Leopard. I haven't tracked a solution yet, but one poster suggested clearing the font caches. I'll keep looking for the answer (if there is one) and post back.

OK, I tried something and it seems to have worked. It isn't clear if the problem only emerges if you are running font management software or not. However, I am, I use Font Agent Pro to handle font activation, but I think it might also be the same for any other font software like Suitcase.

Open your font management software and search it for all the Lucida fonts. Activate all of them. Restart Safari and bingo, back to the normal display of GetDPI forum page fonts. I have no idea why, but it worked for me.

Fonts? You guys have fonts?

Geez.

Performance is so bad here when we connect to GetDPI we have to use a pencil and draw the images...

:toocool:

Cheers,

[Well, the connection does get to be very slow sometimes - nothing to do with the site, I hasten to add...]
