Hi,

I've just update my firefox Mac version 19.0 to 20.0. The big problem is I cannot see our Burmese Unicode character anymore.

I can see burmese character at ( www.facebook.com/futurewayeducation ) with 19.0 without doing any setting but with 20.0, I am hopeless now. The page is writing with a font call Zawgyi-One. The font location is ( http://code.google.com/p/zawgyi/wiki/MyanmarFontDownload ). Now I have just one solution left which is removing this 20.0 version and use 19.0 or Switch Browser.

Thanks.

I have that same problem in Fx20, Chrome, and IE8 all on Windows 7. Firefox is using Tahoma, which lacks those characters. I'm not sure what Chrome and IE are using.

Is it possible that Facebook has changed something about how you use custom fonts?

The Zawgyi-One font works for on both pages on Linux. I already had it installed locally and also see it in Firefox > Preferences > Content : Fonts & Colors (Edit > Preferences on Linux).

Do you see the Zawgyi-One font on this page or are both pages not working?

You can use this extension to see which fonts are used for text that is selected (right-click context menu: Show fonts in selection).

You can try different default fonts and temporarily disable website fonts to test the selected default font.

  • Firefox > Preferences > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced
  • [ ] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"

You can do a check for corrupted and duplicate fonts and other font issues:

Hi,

I've tried to see

http://code.google.com/p/zawgyi/wiki/MyanmarFontDownload

with 19.0 and 20.0. All page which use Zawgyi-One font working on 19.0 smoothly.

I installed "fontinfo" on both 19.0 and 20.0 and checked with facebook. I saw Zawgyi-One is OK with 19.0 but no luck with 20.0

I've tried using different font under CONTENT but no luck on 20.0 .

Hello jscher2000,

I do not think Facebook has changed about font, because all other Browser are still working fine including Safari.

Even though I've changed fonts setting under CONTENT, Fonts & Colors function on Firefox 20.0 is not working properly on Mac only, I suppose.

I assume that the font is also missing the the "Default Font" drop down list?

  • Firefox > Preferences > Content : Fonts & Colors: Default Font

Try to create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.

See "Creating a profile":

If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Thanks for the information. I tried all option like creating new profile and everything, but it still does not work. And for your information, the Zawgyi-One Font is not missing under default font [ Screen capture is Attached ] .

I uninstalled the all my firfox version and reinstall 20.0 as clean but still no chance to see the character. I do not think FONT is missing because when I install 19.0, it is fine, no problem at all. The problem is only with 20.0.
