Arial Font files being published EOT, TTF and WOFF for no apparent reason

[code2]

Hi,

Not sure if this is a Publishing or Designing issue.

Is there any reason for these font files to be publish when those fonts aren't supposedly being used in a project ?:

arialuni.eot
arialuni.ttf
arialuni.woff

I have three websites running and Arial is not used in any of them. I none of those three site are Arial font files published when I make changes.

As I use the Google Font Roboto thin variant, the eot, ttf and woof are published as needed for those projects.

However, I have been setting up a fourth site, uploading and testing it very regularly.

The only major change was I started to use Shape Objects, but did change the font in those the same as the rest of the site each time I used them.

And, site style properties are set to Roboto.

Cards are also used and they seem to just default to Arial when ever opened, but that is not the issue.

I have looked onthe forum and cannot find a similar entry. I have used Global Replace several times but Arial still appears in the list regardless.

Any ideas please ?

To be able to help you, I need a DEMO project so I can see all your settings.

Note: I do not need the complete project because that will only take more time to figure out what you have done.
Basically, I just need a small project with one page and object(s) that are relevant to your question.

Please see this FAQ for further details:

Thanks

I have just been going through deleting a page then publishing to see if it is a particular page. That way, I can cut down the project as you wish. I think it is one or two pages but I have checked their HTML and no Arial Font Family found. I have published to both server and local folder and get the same EOT, TTF and Woff files for Arial.

Now here is the strange thing. Once or twice just now, it published without a problem. But then I'd say 9 or 10 times published it will create the unwanted font files. I though I had found the page but then it published the font files even after I deleted it. So, I am not sure but one page seem to cause the issue most of the time.

I know when the problem is happening because when as soon at it starts Generating HTML Output it is much slower than usual in the first few moments it slows down substantially during own part to about 10 seconds (normally to publish this project take 3 seconds or so) and the Log then show it was the Arial EOT, TTF and Woff files that where just produced.

It seems to possibly be the Disclaimer and Privacy_Copyright but I cannot say for sure. It happen most of the time but like I said on occasion it just seems to work ok. I have published the project about 30 times since your last message.

Thanks in advance.

The problem is not related to the "Arial" font but to the "Arial Unicode MS' font which is used in
privacy_copyrightText1

You can use the Global Replace tool to quickly replace the font.

Thanks.

Your suggestion worked but it then happened again as I did more work on this project today.

Sorry for the long-winded analysis but this might be associated with the Global Replace tool (or not).

I have used the Global Replace tool at least a dozen times with this problem in this project. And, I have use it many, many times since you made improvements to it last year.

The thing is the Arial Unicode MS did not show up in the drop down list. The only font the consistently appears is Arial and I can't never seem to get rid of it.

I'm not sure where the Arial Unicode MS font come from. But that is the page I copy & pasted from the live webpage. Deleted a text box and closed Web Builder accidentally. Therefore, I needed to get the original text back from the webpage. That is when this problem started to happen.

Now here is the thing. It did as you suggested while I was in the Privacy_Copyright page. It instantly fixed the problem.

Experimented again this morning with the same process on another page (deleted text box, closed, opened, reinstated text box and copied & pasted original text from the live webpage).

Arial Unicode MS came back and now even Global Replace did not get rid of it using Entire Web Site, All Breakpoints.

And, there is another issue which I noticed before but now is seems certainly associated with global replace. It may be associated with the Arial Unicode MS issue but it has now happened several times.

I have two pages associated with a contact form (contact_us_ok.html and contact_us_error.html).

When I use Global Replace, they sometimes lose all the text from within their respective text boxes and the Roboto font size shows 130 pt every single time this happens.

On occasion an Embedded Page I use in a layout grid for a footer on these pages also disappears. But, that does not happen as much as the disappearing text does.

Even the loss of text only happens every third or fourth time. Sometimes just on one page and sometimes on both. Those two pages are imports from another project. But I don't remember using Arial anything in them but am not certain.

As a test, I just now deleted the two text boxes, both from contact_us_ok.html and contact_us_error.html.

The issue of publishing EOT, TTF and Woff went away as did the Arial Unicode MS from the Global Replace drop-down list.

I then went back to the page I was working on and again copy & pasted text from the live webpage. The issue came back. I noticed there were still two small text boxes in those form associated pages. Deleted those. No change to problem.

Went back to the page with copy and pasted text. Swap that text to a NotePad++ text editor. And swapped it back to the page. No issues after that.

Copy and pasted from the live webpage for a second test and Arial Unicode came back with the font being slowly published. Swapped that out for text from NotePad++ and Arial Unicode disappeared.

So there may be several issues here.

Arial Unicode is obviously coming from Copy and Paste text from the live internet page.
Global Replace is not replacing the Arial Unicode font or font name.

Plus that other issue of disappearing text from the two other pages and the 130pt sized font in its place.

Would you like the whole original project ?

If you copy/paste text form another source then it may contain invalid formatting.
In that case Global replace may not be able to detect which font are embedded in the text.
It is always best to copy plain text and do all formatting in the software.
