Problem displaying numbers and letters

Unread post by Ghani » 2019-02-08, 19:19

I have a pale moon browser installed in linux mint 19.1 xfce. The numbers in some places in Youtube do not show well and also the characters in some places like translation .. Is there a solution for this? (sorry for my English) :D :D :D :D

Do you have a link that goes with the two screenshot photos you posted? The reason I'm asking. I need the link to see if I get the same result as you do since I use 64 bit linux Pale Moon 28.3.1 running in 64 bit linux Mint 19.1 (Tessa) Xfce.
Linux Mint 21.3 (Virginia) Xfce w/ Linux Pale Moon, Linux Waterfox, Linux SeaLion, Linux Firefox

This happens in any YouTube video and in the translation page

On the Google Translate page, the numbers and letters look normal on my end. You'll have to left click on the attachment to make it larger and once the picture is larger, left click on it again and it will enlarge one more time.

You are so funny with your Star Trek 64bit computers when most people have 32bit or they buy low processors on tablets and smartphones

By the way your browser doesn't even show captcha! It is on a 32 bit Linux Mint Sylvia. The feedback I am writing now is on 64bit Windows10

Um ... no. Everyone I know who has computers has 64-bit systems.

And what does your post have to do with this particular topic, exactly?

A sample size of 1 is not a good sample size for generalizations.

Off-topic:
His tone, when I first read his initial post, says otherwise. After all; his use of the word, "You", in his first post in this topic thread didn't specify whether his post was directed to me or Ghani.

Back to topic. When I go to Google Translate, if the result is in certain non-roman character sets, it is also shown, "romanized", in gray in a smaller size. For instance, I do not have Chinese characters; main result is shown as rectangular-box-outline characters, with gray romanized version. For Russian, Hebrew, and Persian, the result is shown only once in full boldness. But for Tajik (same Cyrillic characters as Russian, I thought) and Arabic (same characters as Farsi/Persian?) I get a full-size, full-boldness result and also a smaller-size gray romanized text. So I think the screen example shown is gray (or some color with a problem) for that character set on purpose .

This might also have something to do with the font being used, haven't played with that.

Ghani, if you select View->Page Style->No Style in Palemoon, although the page layout will be messed up, do you see the text better?

I meant when you go to the translate page with the problem, with "no style" enabled.

1. Leave Palemoon in normal view.
2. Go to a page where "the characters in some places like translation" are not shown well.
3. Then, select View from the menu, then change Page Style to No Style.
4. How are those characters shown now?

Is that a screenshot from a page where you had the original problem? What is wrong with the font?
