Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Safari is displaying euro sign instead of dollar sign.
International Prefs set to Dollars.
Other browsers display ok
Deleted safari.plist & safari.rss.plist files, no change.
Then reinstalled Safari too to no avail
MacBook Pro
Sys 10.7.3
Safari v5.1.4
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3)
Then reinstalled Safari too to no avail
The only way to reinstall Safari running Mac OS X v10.7 is to use Lion Recovery
Try deleting the cache associated with Safari.
Quit Safari.
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Relaunch Safari to test.
~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.
For Lion v10.7x: To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library

So, downloading Safari installer from Apple Downloads isn't proper?
Thanks cs, I'll try that tomorrow.

Could you provide the url of the site where this happens?
System Prefrences / Language & Text / Formats
Happeens here: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywo rds=asus+tablet&x=0&y=0
and in my Gmail rcv'd emails
pretty much everywhere
Thanks BT, yes, I said I went to "International" as it used to be called(?), but Currency is set to Dollars where you specify...(System Prefrences / Language & Text / Formats)
Basically, I upgraded to Lion, then upgraded Safari to 5.1.4 and the issue began.
fsck etc before & after upgrading each.
Could you post a screenshot of that Amazon page?
As far as I know there isn't any way that changing settings on your machine can make website display € where it is coded to display $. Have you installed any fonts beyond what come with OS X?
Tom,
Having no luck uploading image to the discussions....arrgh
maybe this dropbox link will work?
or Picasa:
I have seen this before...
I also have a Refurbed MacBook which has displayed Euros for Dollars for years, and I've never solved that one either....I always assumed that was why it was a refurb....come to think of it, my MBPro is a Refurb too
No, I've installed no fonts that I know of; well, there were some Google fonts I think, but don't remember why or where. amd I think that was before Lion update.
Thanks! Where does that Euro button in your toolbar shown at the top of your browser come from? Is that some plugin or extension?
PS Try getting rid of the Safari Currency Converter extension (or anything similar) which you may have added to your system.
Tom,
oh man, I think I'm about to be embarassed...yes, I'm turning red.
Apologies to all the Windows programmers who might now work for Apple.
Yep, when I updated & reinstalled Lion/Safari I must have lost my settings for that extension(SCC-Safari Currency Converter) and it then defaults/reverted to Euros.
Thanks for helping me find the obvious!
cheers
