Strange problem with IE6 and fonts.


Recommended Posts

Posted

Running XP Pro SP2 with all current updates.

August 29th, 2007 and all is well. Surfed Wikipedia a bit, amongst other things.

August 30th, 2007 and suddenly IE6 is displaying everything on Wikipedia and ONLY WIKIPEDIA in Arial Black.

This does NOT happen with Firefox 2.0.0.6, Netscape 7.2 or Netscape 8.1.2.

WTH happened and how do I fix it, or did someone screw up the IE6 fixes code at Wikipedia? (Look at the source for any Wikipedia page and you'll see a code block that detects IE5, IE 5.5, IE6 and IE7 to load the appropriate fixes sytlesheet.)

If it was IE, it'd be more than one site - and if you made no changes at all between working and not, it's going to be external to you, and not anything to do with IE...

Now I remember I did one thing, installed Adobe Type Manager Deluxe. Uninstalling it didn't change a thing with IE6 and fonts. It's also using Arial Black in a few things on other sites, but only with Wikipedia does it render the entire site with that font.
