Hi Shea.

Got my lovely shiny new imac. buuut Safari isn't displaying a particular font code I've used on one of my h2g2 articles (monotype corsiva) - 'manda reckoned you might now how to get it to work.

Also, can I maybe get your thoughts on a separate and possibly related safari problem I've been rattling on about to the Guru's over here: F47996?thread=3840405

Many smiley - hugs to you and TJ.

Wanna be more specific? What's the font code it isn't displaying? What article?

I remember a couple of issues Safari had with fonts:

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107641

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301245

I've found a great place to get answers is here:

http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=169

All sorts of people complain about their problems there ... that's the link to the Safari discussions area.

I've found that you can have problems after running a Security Update if you don't repair permissions. There's a nifty utility called update washer: http://www.automatorworld.com/archives/update-washer/
It's free, and a good idea to use it every once in a while.

I read the thread with your other problem. I don't know what the issue is. I haven't had problems with my Safari (here or at work) ... not that it's a consolation to you, I know.

smiley - hugs back to you and 'manda! Sorry I can't be more help.
