Description Chase Venters 2007-05-20 11:25:14 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.6)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc (GCC) 4.1.1 (Gentoo 4.1.1)
 
OS:                Linux

I have this problem with font selection. I've seen it on a number of pages, and finally decided to file a report. It happens on this page:

http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/FireFoxTorPerf

The <pre> section under "Procedure 1" renders with the OpenSymbol font. If I increase or decrease the font (Ctrl++ or Ctrl+-), a correct font family is used and the text is readable. 

My settings are for a 9 minimum font size, 12 medium size. Fonts:

Standard: Arial
Fixed: Courier New
Serif: Serif
Sans serif: Sans Serif
Cursive: Sans Serif
Fantasy: Sans Serif

OpenSymbol is configured in no place I can see. The page I reference as being buggy specifies no specific font options in the HTML for the <pre>, but the CSS asks for "font-family: courier, monospace;".

probably related to bug 145695

Comment 2 FiNeX 2008-04-21 12:35:01 UTC

Cannot reproduce on konqueror 3.5.9 AND 4 (trunk).

Comment 3 Chase Venters 2008-06-24 23:43:54 UTC

I can't seem to reproduce this in konqueror 3.5.9 any more either. It seems that the bug Philip references is still open, so I'm not sure what "fixed" the issue.

Marking as "RESOLVED" because I can't come up with any more examples of problematic font rendering, leaving the possibility of the bug having gone away and the certainty of no recourse for the developers in the alternate.
