systems. What you're describing usually appears as a popup window
on a corrupted font, which makes me wonder if something is wrong
with your connection or ISP. Can you post a screenshot of the
window and an example URL that does this reliably?</p></div>Cameron Kaisertag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/372714252015-07-01T15:13:47Z2016-01-22T16:58:53Z"Bad Font Detected" New York Times Website Only<div><p>Here's an example, Cameron.<br>
When it occurs in the NYT site, it seems to involve article titles
or captions and it replaces the font with boxes around a capital
letter "A".<br>
First noticed this about three of your updates ago, back in the
Spring.<br>
I appreciate any thoughts you have, it's not bad yet but I was
worried that it would accelerate due to something NYT was
doing.<br>
I have not seen this on any other sites.</p></div>joe.smithtag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/372714252015-07-01T16:01:57Z2015-07-01T16:01:57Z"Bad Font Detected" New York Times Website Only<div><p>I haven't seen an issue like that. Have you cleared your font
cache (this usually requires a restart afterwards)? If you don't
know how to do this, there are third-party tools that can do this
for you, or see <a href="http://www.extensis.com/support/knowledge-base/clearing-mac-os-x-font-cache/">

Use/audience is still pretty “fluid” at this point.
They want detail on the cc’s to frame it up in leadership
audience’s mind, as the operational plans will be really down
in the weeds.<br>

part of my work flow.</p>
<p>I tried both trashing the com.apple.ATS folder from the Cache
folder and also running FontNuke to clear all font caches. I have
done this twice, but alas am getting the same result on the NYT
website, Cameron. See new screenshot enclosed. Very weird. Any
additional thoughts? -J</p></div>joe.smithtag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/372714252015-07-01T19:59:52Z2015-07-01T20:01:31Z"Bad Font Detected" New York Times Website Only<div><p>Data points for the website shown in the screenshot above<br>

<p>10.4<br>
- both 31 and 38 give me the "bad font" warning and show As in
squares.</p>
<p>10.5<br>
- 31: no bad font warning, no text in this place at all. - 38: can
see the text ok for a moment, then the browser crashes.</p>
<p>I'll try to find the offending font.</p></div>Chris (chtrusch)tag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/372714252015-07-01T20:20:10Z2015-07-01T20:43:31Z"Bad Font Detected" New York Times Website Only<div><p>It's <a href="http://typeface.nytimes.com/fonts/nyt-cheltenham-200-normal.woff">http://typeface.nytimes.com/fonts/nyt-cheltenham-200-normal.woff</a>
(maybe some more fonts I couldn't find in the source code).</p>
<p>If I block <a href="http://typeface.nytimes.com/fonts/">http://typeface.nytimes.com/fonts/</a>*
with Adblock, I get this on 10.5 (both 31 and 38, no crash); see
screenshot. Looks like in Safari, only that the font displayed is
Georgia instead of the downloaded nyt-cheltenham. Georgia is the
first fallback font specified in the font family in the source
code.</p>
<p>Instead of using Adblock one could just set
gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled to false in about:config as a quick
workaround.</p></div>Chris (chtrusch)tag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/372714252015-07-02T00:46:44Z2015-07-02T00:46:44Z"Bad Font Detected" New York Times Website Only<div><p>Yes, I can reproduce it with that URL. That workaround should
suffice in the short term. I need to add it to the font blocklist
once I figure out the PostScript name.</p></div>Cameron Kaisertag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/372714252015-07-02T04:12:35Z2015-07-02T04:12:35Z"Bad Font Detected" New York Times Website Only<div><p>This is going to be a problem -- there is no PostScript name for
this font internally. We'll have to craft a new way to block
it.</p>
<p>I'm reopening issue 261 to track this.<br>

Remind me, do I
use Terminal to get to about:config to change that or is that
within TenFourFox itself? I know I've done something with the
config settings, but it was a while back.</p>
<p>Cameron, every day that I use my Powerbooks and iBooks I give
thanks for you and your entire team. Without TenFourFox they would
not be useful to me, but with it, they are still such a pleasure to
use.</p>
<p>Best,<br>
