Re: fonts.
I've been having the font problem on Friendster.com also, as well as a few other sites where the font size is reduced such that font smoothing doesn't apply. Even for most regular sites I have to enlarge the text, so I had to change my perfect default Arial 12 to Arial 14 and it's just so big and gaudy now. Anybody have any idea what's up?

the 'gold' version is a major step backwards for me. A lot of sites have safari crashing now, esp. if a java applet is on it. it's also a great deal slower on some sites, grafics won't load quite often. very very bugeous - the previous version was much more stable, even if some things didn't quite work as they should.
Is there a specific place on weather.com that you're getting an error? I'm going to as many pages I can and am not getting any errors whatsoever. Cnn works here too.
U2.com
Is anyone having any problems with U2.com. I can't get the timeline to work in Safari. Any suggestions?

Re: Re: Re: Safari Issues
Okay then my next step would be to do a search for safari and delete all the results relating to the browser. Then reinstall safari run a permissions repair and try it.

Safari 1.0 works for the most part for me!
Safari 1.0 works fine for me most of the time. It still has problems with Java on some web sites. Empty Cache crashed it so I now delete cache manually which seems to work ok. I basically stick to using Netscape 7 for Java on must sites that use Java a lot. I did do a file permissions repair as I always do after every update and program installation. I find that prevents a lot of problems. Safari is definitely fast and for the most part I like it.
Most of my banking sites work ok except for Compass Bank which worked fine with v.64 and v.74. I can get Compass Bank to work by choosing Windows MS IE 6.0 as the UserAgent. I can do that because I have Safari Enhancer installed.
I will keep IE for a while though for some specific sites. I have all the browsers available for Mac OS X installed anyway and use them all from time to time so it really doesn't matter. I am also using Mozilla Firebird a lot too. I think though that IE will be used a lot less than it was used before.
I just wish I could get my sweetie to use Safari. She keeps insisting on using IE because she says everything works with IE and because it is standard. I know she doesn't understand because her attitude is as long as it works and I know what it is for who cares. She used Macs in school, but they all used IE as their browser. Her mom's computer is a Dell or Gateway so it obviously uses IE.

The best thing about Safari 1.0 is that when I chose 'Check Spelling as you Type' it stays on even after you restart the computer.
On a side note it has crashed a couple times on me so it isn't as stable as the beta builds. That's kind of funny actually. All in all it still works a thousand times better then IE. I like Camino also but I just like the Safari interface better personally.

animated gifs don't display properly
Did you report the animated gifs issue - tiling background gifs do not animate and if you repeat a gif animation on the page only one animates
I posted about it at apple discussions - phew - not a popular request
http://discussions.info.apple.com/WebX?50@214.VdXvae0acEO.4@.5997ffdf/28
I do not know if it is a bug or if it is intentional but it frustrates me -
I just wish apple would say which it is
