Itunes Store Font Display

I have exactly the same issue - since downloading itunes 9 (and the forced download of safari to run the store) my MacBook Pro displays garbage fonts in the store front. Apple support have been crap as they just say to reinstall everything!

In fact the reason I don't use safari as my main browser is that it has always had that issue on my Mac (showing symbols not normal text on web pages) and no amount of font substation in the settings seems to fix it! Firefox has never had those issues.

But now it seems itunes is screwed up thanks to safari being crap. Not impressed.

I'm having the same font issue as everyone else. I've had to stop using Safari because of the font issue, and now it's showing up on iTunes Store. I too will not purchase anything from iTunes until it's fixed. Has anyone found a true solution. Deleting fonts is not an option, that's just ridiculous. As a graphic designer I need my fonts, especially the main system fonts.

This is on you Apple, fix your issues.

I am having a similar problem - it will load the store but the front page is all down one side and gibberish and no purchases can be made. Is there a solution as unable to make any purchases since downloading Itunes 9.

Steve,

Another poster discovered that the letters were all off by 1 ASCII character on XP sp2, iTunes 9.0.0.70.

I too have installed the new iTunes version 9.0.1.8 tonight and the font jibberish issue REMAINS. No change. APPLE how about a little help????

I have exactly the same, gibberish font ITUNES store. Also have had to disable ITUNES helper at start up due to dll error. Is there going to be a fix?

I, too, buy a lot of songs from ITUNES and am having the exact same problem with my Windows XP Operating System since installing version 9 today. Nothing but jibberish in the Store in all columns except the price. That seems to appear correctly. This problem needs to be fixed ASAP.

Well it is Apple's loss, can't purchase anything when it's name and description is like (£&$."£%$SDASsdM<M<>:@) can we? Crazy.

Same problem here. Fonts garbled up in Safari on my Mac's at work -> Reboot fixes this. On my private PC the Store is all garbled up -> No solution so far.
Please fix asap

Yes, I am now experiencing this problem at the Apple Store. I checked my machine for viruses (clean) and found this was the only place where the font displayed the descriptions of every item in gibberish. (The titles are legible) What is going in and how can we fix it? I won't be buying anything until I know what it says! HELP!

Been searching for a solution to this (beside deleting fonts). Havne't been able to find one on any message boards.

Having the same problem. Everything was fine before. Can't believe Apple hasn't done anything about this.

Well fwiw, I wanted to experiment, so I took the helvetica fonts out of my fonts folder (just moved them to my desktop), restarted itunes and the stored displayed fine (just like everyone is reporting). Since I can't work without those fonts I put them back in the fonts folder, restarted itunes and my pc and the itunes store still displays fine. Not sure what will happen in the future though.

My wife has same problem but I believe that the font used by Istore is Lucida Grande, so why removing Helvetica helps not too sure. I also note that a lot of these replies are from Dell users, but of course there are a lot of them about so perhaps not significant. Amazon must be doing a lot of music download business at present!
