dailygraphics Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Hi all, I'm am using a Mac and I've been having issues with spacing in a couple of internet browsers and applications. Everything seems to be double or even triple spacing. I had this problem for a while on Safari and I couldn't find a solution so I downloaded Firefox and it was working ok. I upgraded to the latest version of Firefox the other day and it started the weird spacing too. I also have this problem in my Mail and TextEdit applications. I'm guessing that it's a problem with my fonts. Does anyone have a clue or come across this before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkencreative Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Weird. Sounds like it is a Mac problem though, not a browser specific issue. Do you have your standard fonts available to you when you open up FontBook? (Applications > FontBook) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickham Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 (edited) Does it only happen on your computer? Ask a friend to check. If it's only your computer, is there some accessibility function that spaces lines that's accidentally been turned on? If it happens on all computers with a certain browser, all I can suggest is to put in a general style for line-height: 1.3 (or 130%) in the body style and styles for p and h tags p { margin: 5px 0; } h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 { margin: 8px 0; } and see if that cures it. Are you using Word as a text editor? It does do strange things with " and ' and might be causing line-height problems. I notice that when I copy/paste from Notepad into this forum I get double spacing and I have to clear the spaces, but that doesn't happen to html files.

dailygraphics Posted January 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 It's just happening on my computer. I know in the past it started after I installed updates but I don't remember what the updates were. I was able to use a font program to clean out my fonts and that worked but it's not letting me do that again. I will check to see if some kind of accessibility feature was turned on. I'll let you guys know when I find the solution. Thanks for the pointers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dailygraphics Posted January 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Okay, got it working. I downloaded a new font cleaner program and it worked like a charm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
