Unicode Rendering: Firefox vs Chrome
OS: Windows XP SP3
My question is about the rendering of this post on Firefox vs Chrome. I can see a lot of boxes on Chrome, not so much on Firefox.
Firefox:
Chrome:
What do I do?
Update:
Update 2
Changed Sans Serif fonts on Chrome to Arial Unicode and restarted
Update 3
This is inspired by @Arjan's references

Every page I try to go to in chrome says "This webpage is not available" but websites work fine in other browsers.
I recently installed http://www.getwindmill.com/ just to experiment. I think my problem has to do with proxy settings.
My screen resolution is actually 3200x1800, but when I'm in a browser it acts like I have a smaller resolution. How do I get my browsers to use my full resolution?
On Chrome it's using 1280x720, and on IE it's using 1600x900. According to whatismyscreenresolution.com, which is showing different values for different browsers. I took a screenshot of them and verified that my resolution is 3200x1800 as that is the pixels in the bitmap.
I'm on a laptop with no monitor plugged in. My zoom in both browsers is at 100%. I've tried zooming out below 100% but then the text is unreadable and pixellated. I've tried restarting. Windows 8.1. I've tried the chrome extension OptiZoom and it does nothing. document.body.clientWidth gives 1247, and I want it to give 3200.
When I visit, for example, http://www.bolagsverket.se from a user account on this Windows 2008 Server, Chrome displays the site but all the text is gone. When I try in IE it's even worse, it doesn't even load the page, I jsut end up with this: http://dl.pixelstore.se/image/0y1f0y0w1J39
The fonts used for this site is (from CSS): font-family:Frutiger,Frutiger Linotype,Univers,DejaVu Sans Condensed,Liberation Sans,Nimbus Sans L,Geneva,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Tahoma,sans-serif
If I edit the CSS through Chrome Developer Tools, and erase all fonts until Arial it suddenly works.
The strange thing is that everything works fine from the administrator account, it's just (all) the user accounts that doesn't work.
My guess is that Chrome/IE is asking for the fonts but somehow they are restricted in the user account. Instead of just ignoring the fonts they can't find they try to render them anyway. Any clue?
I just switched to Windows 7 and love the taskbar and library features.
If I make a desktop shortcut to a webpage, then it becomes searchable from the taskbar (i.e., press the Win/meta key and type the shortcut's name and it pops up). The IE bookmarks/favorites already come with shortcuts in your "Favorites" folder.
Can I programatically do this with my chrome shortcuts? My first thought was to export bookmarks to IE, but I can't find an option in IE that allows me to export bookmarks/favorites as shortcuts.
Thanks!
I am not sure when this started, but the issue definitely exists in the latest version of Chrome (10.0.648.127). Playing youtube video at 320p essentially pegs the CPU. The process that kills is WindowServer which takes up the lion's share of the CPU. When I close the tab, everything goes back to normal.
If I try this in Safari or Firefox, CPU usage is within acceptable levels. I am on a 2-3 year old MacMini, which is not the latest, but runs most apps fine. 1.83Mhz Intel Core 2 Duo.
Is there a setting within Chrome I can set to fix this issue?
I have a php script with is used to rotate banner images on a site.
Under Firefox/IE page refreshes will make another request and a different image will be returned.
Under Chrome, the request seems to be cached and only opening the page in a new tab will cause it to actually query the script.
I believe this used to work in older versions of chrome, I've tried a few different types of redirect codes all with the same result.
Any tips?

I recently moved all my Java installations from C:\Program Files\Java to D:\Java, as my C:\ partition only had a few MB of free space left and windows kept on bugging me about it. I also edited every registry entry in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft that pointed to the old directory to now point to the new one. Then changed the PATH variables and removed the old files, did a restart, and all Java applications work just fine.
Yet, Chrome is the only application that seems to have a problem with what I did, as the Java Plugin isn't recognized any more.
Are there any registry entires I may have missed? Maybe in the Chrome registry? How can I make this work again?
I'm running Windows 7, 64-Bit on a Core-i5 HP Notebook. For approximately the last 3 months, I've had major problems with Adobe Flash. Flash has been uninstalled and installed again multiple times. No changes.
Here is what happens in different browsers: (All browsers are in the latest version as of this post)
Firefox: Doesn't work at all. This bothers me most, since FF is my favorite browser; I'm using a lot of Plugins. Have tried to de-activate all Plugins, but no change.
IE and Chrome: Works, but most pages with Flash are stuck during page load for ~30 seconds. After that, everything is fine.
Opera: No problems, everything working as it should.
Strange, eh? Any help is highly appreciated!
I've been struggling this morning trying to associate an application with a custom protocol, namely emacsclient and org-protocol.
I'm calling this protocol from a webbrowser bookmarklet, and I get the following behaviour :
In chromium,
the "Launch Application" dialog comes up, and calls xdg-open org-protocol://... which ends up firing a new chromium frame.
In firefox,
I've tried setting network.protocol-handler.app.org-protocol to an empty string or my emacsclient path, anyhow I get the following error message :
"Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (org-protocol) isn't associated with any program" without even showing any external application selection dialog.
I'm not using any desktop environment, so I need to make this work strictly with xdg, however, despite reading the shared mime info spec etc, I still can't fathom a working configuration.
I like to use the Ctrl or Alt + Number shorcut to jump quickly to a specific tab. Problem is: When you have a lot of tabs open it is hard to look at them and quickly know which one is tab number 7.
Is there a way (extension possibly) to show a tab's number in its title?
This way each tab would have a number added to its title right beside the favicon. This way you could immediately tell which number you need to press to jump to a specific tab.
I use both Chromium and Firefox, so I'm accepting answers for either one (though I'd prefer both =) ).
I'm really curious about this. The question (highlighed in bold):
Can someone name ONE GOOD REASON to have their email server permanently set up to auto-fail/immediate-fail on 4xx codes?
Because frankly, it sounds like "their" setups are broken out-of-the-box. SMTP is not Instant Messaging. Stop treating it like IRC or Jabber or MSN or insert-IM-technology-here. I don't know what possesses people to have the "IMMEDIATE DELIVERY OR FAIL" mentality with SMTP setups, but they need to stop doing that. It just plain breaks things. Every two or three years, I stumble into this. Someone, somewhere, has decided in their infinite wisdom that 4xx codes are immediate failures, and suddenly its OMGWTFBBQ THE INTARNETZ ARE BORKEN, HALP SKY IS FALLING instead of "oh, it'll re-attempt delivery in about 30 minutes". It amazes me how it suddenly becomes "my" problem that a message won't go through, because someone else misconfigured "their" SMTP service.
IF there is a legitimate reason for having your server permanently set up in this manner, then the first good answer will get the check.
IF there is no good reason (and I suspect there isn't), then the first good-sounding-if-still-logically-flawed answer will get the check.
HI Guys
Please Help
I am pretty New Here.
I'm having problems. Cannot connect with chrome or Internet Explorer. Fire Fox works fine. It seems it happens when I was infected by a "Trojan Horse Generic 17.BWIK" and
a "Trojan Horse SHeur.UHL", when I reply to a post for a Thread I posted. I have removed the treat and got Fire Fox working, "so i think", but not G'Chrome or IE still cannot connect. I do not want to loose Chrome History so re-setting would be my last option and uninstall and install will be out of the question. Is there a way around this? I am using XP Pro on a desktop and DSL connection.
Be aware from "Fake_Antispyware.FAH", which I had on my computer, I just found out while doing this, according to my AVG anti-virus security.
Please can you direct me for a cure.
Thank you in advance for your sincere willingness contributions.
I'm using awesome as window manager for a small surf&info terminal. Chromium is started directly after login on the first workspace and should be displayed fullscreen. I've set the layout of all workspaces to awful.layout.suit.max and followed Awesome FAQ so that Chromium and all other (automatically) started programs will be shown on the right workspace. All programs except Chromium will start correctly in fullscreen mode.
I tried
{ rule = { class = "chromium-browser" },
properties = {floating = false, tag = tags[1][1]}}
and
{ rule = { class = "chromium-browser" }, properties = {tag = tags[1][1]}}
but Chromium will always start in floating mode. This is a bit annoying as you still see awesome's panel at the top.
Can running Firefox and Chrome at the same time cause problems?
Sometimes when I switch from FF to chrome, where I have many more tabs up, the pages on chrome refresh slowly (1 second?), from top to bottom.
Hello all,
I make a GET request to a CGI script and I get a 404 error. However, I am 100% sure that script is present and it has permissions:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 apache apache 6520 Sep 7 03:01 uu_ini_status_audios.pl
The request URL is:
http://mysite.com/cgi-bin/uu_ini_status_audios.pl?tmp_sid=893facacc5dc392ad0f4c91e6a9e8d40&rnd_id=0.12266222834382812
The error I get:
The requested URL /cgi-bin/uu_ini_status_audios.pl was not found on this server.
This use to work for me before, but I think it stopped working after I restarted apache so maybe it means its a configuration I changed??
I checked the error logs for apache and php and nothing useful was found to help me with my problem!
I appreciate any help on this!
I set up a Microsoft Exchange account on my iOS device to sync my Gmail contacts. But Microsoft Exchange is ignoring phone numbers that are labeled as 'iPhone' or 'main'.
For example, John Smith:
On Mac and Gmail:
John Smith
main: 123-334-1212
home: 123-330-1002
work: 123-330-8211
iPhone: 123-778-5556
On iOS device (via Exchange sync):
John Smith
home: 123-330-1002
work: 123-330-8211
I'd like to sync my contacts from my Mac to iCloud and Gmail, but you can't do both:
Is there a solution to sync iOS and Gmail contacts without using Exchange? Thanks for any help!
I'm getting blue screens, mostly when trying to boot a program that required a lot of memory (games, photo editing software.) So far I've only managed to catch one set of error codes:
BCCode: 1000008e
BCP1: C0000005
BCP2: ADA393BA
BCP3: E9BCEBC4
BCP4: 00000000
OS Version: 6_0_6002
Service Pack: 2_0
Product: 768_1
It's on a Sony VAIO Laptop VGN FW-41E, Vista OS service pack 2. Besides these codes it lists two 'temporary' files that were related with this crash:
...AppData\Local\Temp\WER-134925-0.sysdata.xml
...AppData\Local\Temp\WERDA66.tmp.version.txt
When I googled these files some site said it was linked to a worm called 'yodo', but virus scans don't return any results (hitman pro, malware bytes, avast antivirus all turn up empty). Upon further searching about this yodo worm, I came across security stronghold where someone posted they had acquired this worm when downloading access and excel templates. Now, I actually did download templates for the same programs, they might have been the same, they may be related or I might be grasping at straws here.
I have not noticed any issues other in performance as of late, just BSOD's when I start software that requires some memory, but I never had issues with these exact same programs before.
Help and/or hints are required on how to actually figure out what's the root of this BSOD issue and how can I fix it. Do you reckon it's actually a virus? What program should be able to remove YODO worm stuff?
Office for Mac 2008 just asked me whether I wanted to update. However, on continuing with the update, a Window popped up saying that I needed to close Chrome before the update could continue. I find this rather suspicious, since Office should not need to go anywhere near Chrome.
Any idea why there might be a legitimate reason for this, or alternatively, just what is Microsoft trying to sneak on to my computer?
EDIT: I did look at the download details on Microsoft's website, but aside from the general guff about closing all open applications, it doesn't mention anything about Chrome or any browser plugins.

Hello !
I'm afraid I'm a dummy Makefile.
My goal in life is to politely ask you to run the configure script to actual-
ly generate a real Makefile.
Would you be kind enough to type "./configure --help" to see the options that
will suit your needs ? Please note that typing "./configure" without option
will generate a Makefile that will suit most people needs.
I wish you a good day. Please don't drive to fast.

I have Chrome open most of the time in the lower right corner of my screen and work mostly with tabs. Sometimes I need a new Chrome window (instance) and hit cmd-n.
Now the new window always opens up in the upper left and I have to center it.
Is there a way to automatically center new chrome windows (or maybe maximize them..)?
