    font used for posts

    I know this is a computer issue with my Mac OS 10.8 but somehow I did something to the fonts while trying to fix Word/Excel not launching. I bought FontDoctor hoping it was a font problem and now all the posts here are in italics. I thought it was an Arial font issue and have tried replacing that. Is there a standard font that is used for posts here? I thought that might help me figure out which font was messed up. Thanks.

    1. I'm assuming you've already checked the browser preferences to make sure that the default font is correct.

    2. Download the latest combo patch and install that. A combo patch installation will go through everything and set many things back to the way they were.

    3. Did you try Pages and Numbers? Between them and NeoOffice (for the odd compatibility problem with formulas) programs from that other company have been either banished or regulated to VMWare where they do only a minimum amount of harm.

    As far as I know the Forum font is Ariel.

    The new safari 6 took out the preferences section to pick the font for some reason. I'm trying to reinstall Office again. Pages and Numbers seem to work.

    Apple has taken away far too many things in Lion. That's why I'm still on Snow Leopard. It's just about perfect except for its annoying habit of changing the hostname and the limited number of processes you can have.
