Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
The font in Safari's bookmarks bar and tabs bar has suddenly changed to a lighter font. How do I change the font back? I'm not speaking of the font size/type in the web browser in viewing web pages, but the font in the application itself has changed. It's rather annoying and would like to be able to change it back! I'm running Safari v5.1.7
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.4)
Sorry for hijacking the thread - I thought that it might be helpful to have the information in one place for people with the same problem, and I was trying to help the original poster as well. I haven't been able to find very much information on this problem, which is why I posted here about it. I also bumped it for her, after it had been more than a week. So again, sorry.
Margie -- Open up your HD > Library >Fonts folder.
Is there a Helvetica Light in there? If so, trash it.
If there are any other Helveticas, you might want to take them to the desktop.
Restart your Mac, and restart Safari.
Let us know . . .
Never mind.
Margie, that is not Helvetica Light.
I think the only way you're going to solve this is to take all the HD > Library > Fonts folder off to the desktop.
Restart your Mac, and add back a group of five back, then test Safari, and keep going like that until you find the group of five that sets off the odd font. Then you just have to check the last group, one by one.
Or look through your Font Book fonts, one by one, til you find the one that looks like the menu font.
