Dreamweaver CS5 - workspace font problem

Mar 23, 2012 1:49 PM

 

I am using a macbook pro with mac osx 10.6.1 and my workspace font in dreamweaver for every little category is in a font that I can not read or make out at all. For whatever reason, all of the text in the workspace area is displayed in the "serpentine-bold-bold HE" font that I have in my font collection. I have been trying all morning to figure out how to change the workspace font to something I can actually read and I have had absolutely no success.

 

I would greatly appreciate any help in fixing this issue as I am dead in the water as a new dreamweaver user and no ability to determine which box does what.

 

Regards

    Not that I have the answer but I have the same problem. Does it look like this?

    I don't even have this kind of Serpentine in my font book, which is why I'm really confused. This is something a programer/coder for dreamweaver should be notified of. I'm in no position to upgrade to CS6 yet, so someone please do their job and help us out. Thanks!

    I am experiencing this same issue. I have been searching for a while. Im not sure if its relatied to my recent upgrade to Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 or not, but this has all of a sudden been happening for a few weeks now.

     

    This is interfering with my business and being able to effectively complete projects.

     

    Does anyone have a fix?

    I'm not sure if any of you still need help, but I was having the exact same issue with the font display in DW (after installing a whole bunch of new fonts). I found this thread, and didn't have the serpentine font, so (after getting a little angrier) I did some further investigating and quickly figured out the problem myself...

     

    The font you DON'T want is: Babylon5-Hollow-Regular.ttf

     

    This font looks very much like the serpentine font, and looks identical to the screenshot posted, but if you delete the STUP!D Free, Babylon 5 font, and then check Dreamweaver, hopefully you should find (like I did) that the problem vanished!!!

     

    I also did NOT have to clear the font cache or even shutdown or restart Dreamweaver... It was as simple as doing a search of the fonts with "baby" and then deleting the noted font.

     

    I hope that helps some of you who may still be pulling out your hair... Let me know if it worked for you.

    Thank you so much! That solved the problem right away!

     

    Although I couldn't find it when I did a search on my computer, I only found it when I was searching through my font book and just removed the fonts right from there.

     

    Thanks again!!!!!
