Please advise.

I'm using cufon fonts and the Party Freak template, but Cufon is making these 4px x 15px boxes that are screwing up the formatting. I'm thinking they might be spaces, but I can't for the life of me figure out what css file they're coming from.

Thanks in advance.

Please help me with this guys.

I know it's coming from Cufon, but have no idea how to kill it.

Hi
I checked your site on Firefox 3.6.4 and it seems normal to me (no weird boxes)
but as I scroll the page up and down,
weird boxes appear and disappear quickly behind the "tweet" box
but not in Chrome 2.0.172.39 where it works fine :)

I hope this helps :/

Flora,

Thanks for checking it out. The boxes only show up when highlighted with FireBug, but the 4 x 15px boxes are still there, messing up the layout. Especially in the area of the Photoslide.

I went as far as to install another partyfreak quickstart package to see if it was the font that I was using. I installed both the swis 721 and a tahoma test case. The template still had these boxes on both of the fonts I used with the test setup, so it isn't the font.

THIS IS NOT A CUSTOMIZATION ISSUE. THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH YOUR CRUFT.

Hi

We do know that it's not a customization. I send this topic to our programmer because I havent seen such problem before. Unfortunately He is extremly busy right now. Please send me joomla panel access data maby when I see the settings off cuffons something comes in mind.

Hi

With a big help from Dziudek I did set the correct settings for this.

The problem was that there were cufons set for all the text on the site and that was causing the problem, not mentioned the server counting time.

Thank you both.

Would you mind explaining how you solved it?
There are still 4x15 boxes in the Photo Slide sidebar that shouldn't be there. And I believe in the text area for the photoslide main picture display box (that are not allowing the text/titles to show up at all)

If I can do it myself I gladly will.

Hi

I've just started to learn about cuffons and think that this fields are simply the spacebars or any other unseen signs remade on cuffons (or which was tried to be cuffons but did not have representation).

That wasn't really a solution but simply changing the settings to where cuffons should be use. Using cuffons for every text on site means lots of operations on server which may slow down the whole website, so is not recomended.
