Fonts not displaying properly after reinstall on new Mac

Hello,

I reinstalled DW CS6 on a new MacBook Pro. So far everything seems to work properly except the irritating fact that fonts don't display properly in design view on the new Mac whereas they did on the old one. Everything looks good if I look at the page in the browser but the fact that it doesn't look the same in design view like it used to makes me suspect that something is wrong with the new install. Any ideas on how to get it right? Or, do I just have to get used to a new way of looking at the world. (-:

It's probably just some kind of code error that the browser can work past, but Design View can't.

This might be due to corrupt or missing fonts on your system. See this possibly related thread below.

I thought the same thing and made sure to install the 3 fonts required on my system, plus missing fonts that affected other documents. I then rebooted just make sure. Problem solved in MS Word, and Srivener but not DW. )-:

Are you using web fonts from external sources like Google or Typekit?

If so, you won't see them in Design View. Switch to Live View which is more like a real browser. Additionally, I think Typekit requires a local testing server and your local IP address to display fonts locally.

All I got was a bunch of warnings that "The type attribute is unnecessary for JavaScript resources."

I will remove them from the template. Then see if it helps. But somehow I doubt it. At least I wont get the warnings (-:
