So I've been seeing this for the last few weeks

post-5928-0-69168300-1354715062.png

Running Windows 8, Chrome v24 beta

The suspect CSS seems to be this


font-family: "Segoe WP Semibold", "Segoe UI Semibold", "Segoe UI Web Semibold", 'Segoe UI', Segoe, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Roboto, Arial, FreeSans, sans-serif;
[/CODE]

If I remove the first two "Segoe WP Semibold", "Segoe UI Semibold", it works fine.

Also, I don't know if this is related, but Neowin does not load at all on Internet Explorer 10 for me. Just a blank blue background.

Chrome v24 beta

I could be wrong, but I don't believe Neowin supports browsers that are in Beta.

Try switching to a stable version and seeing if that makes a difference. Also, go through the usual steps (if you haven't already) like clearing your browser cache.

I'm running Firefox 17.0.1 on Windows XP and I'm not experiencing either of the issues you've mentioned.

EDIT: articuno1au, if the problem were to do with the database being worked on, would the OP have been experiencing these issues for weeks? Seems a bit odd to me, especially considering no one else has reported this happening to them.

@ Intrinsica - He just started working on it: http://www.neowin.ne...#entry595369876

Yep, but that's my point. The OP has said that he has been experiencing these issues for weeks. Of course, he hasn't said if the lack of text is a constant problem, or if it only happens occasionally. If sometimes it's ok and other times it isn't, I may be more inclined to believe it is to do with the DB.

I had a similar problem a while back and also reported it only to find rebooting the machine fixed it

I had tried about 3 browsers and weirdly they all had the same problem, so no idea why a reboot sorted it, unless the site was fixed while I was rebooting (unlikely)

Looks as if he has a messed up version of the segoe wp font. If this was a bit more widespread I'm sure we'd have a few more posts about it. So not really sure waht I can recommend, same goes with the IE issue. Seems to work fine on my end.

Confirmed. A restart fixed it.

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes by Taras Buria Recently, Forza Horizon 6 players discovered an interesting glitch that allowed farming a crazy amount of in-game credits in a few minutes. Playground Games quickly pulled the plug on the exploit by disabling one of the game's online modes, and today, the studio is rolling out another hotfix. In my review, I complained about the game still showering gamers with cars, credits, and wheelspins. As such, earning money in Forza Horizon 6 is not a particularly difficult task. You simply have to play the game, crazy, I know. However, people still found an easier path to becoming a billionaire in Forza Horizon 6. All you had to do was purchase the Hummer EV, install a specific tune, shift in reverse while going at about 15 MPH, hit a wall, and get launched into the stratosphere at the speed of light. While mid-air, launch Eliminator and quickly get eliminated. Boom, the game just awarded you with a few million in-game credits. Initially, Playground Games disabled Eliminator to prevent people from farming credits. Now, following the release of the first balancing update, developers are rolling out a new update that re-enables Eliminator and gives users a free McLaren Sabre as a gesture of goodwill. Here is the changelog: One critical issue remains unpatched, though. There are quite a few reports of the game wiping gamers' saves, and developers are still looking into that. To avoid potential data loss, Playground Games recommends taking one of the steps outlined in a previously published support article.
    • Dead by Daylight, Two Point Museum, and more join Xbox Free Play Days for the weekend by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There is a brand-new Free Play Days offer available to Xbox players, giving them a chance to try out a new selection of games over the weekend. Microsoft's latest promotion brings some high-profile titles, including the sports title PGA TOUR 2K25 and the racing sim Assetto Corsa. Almost all the games being offered this time require an Xbox Game Pass subscription, with only one title being available for all players. Starting with the fully free-to-play section, Dead by Daylight is populating it solo. This asymmetric survival horror title should be the most familiar to most gamers, considering its age. The multiplayer four-versus-one asymmetric survival horror game has you assuming the roles of survivors or the killer to see who can come out on top. This Dead by Daylight offer will be available to play until Monday, June 22, giving you an extra day of play compared to the remainder of the Free Play Days titles. Meanwhile, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and Essential members can now try out the well-received tycoon game Two Point Museum, the circuit racing sim Assetto Corsa, as well as 2K's golf sim experience that gives players a career to develop alongside real-world pros and courses. Here are the announced games and the platforms they are available to play on: PGA TOUR 2K25 (Xbox Series X|S) Two Point Museum (Xbox Series X|S) Assetto Corsa (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) Dead by Daylight (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) To easily find the titles on Xbox consoles, first head to the Store, and then in the sidebar, find the Home section.
