Version: (using KDE KDE 3.1.4) Installed from: SuSE RPMs OS: Linux My setup: * Konqui fonts: Standard and Serif = Bitstream Vera Serif, Sans Serif = Bitstream Vera Sans * fontconfig and qtconfig: set to replace Arial and Verdana with Bitstream Vera Sans, and Times New Roman with Bitstream Vera Serif * MSFonts *not* installed [they render poorly and with wrong metrics without the native bytecode interpreter, which I cannot use] Problem: if I specify e.g. Arial, or any font that is not installed, I get the "standard" font instead. This can be checked with a simple HTML file that contains e.g. <font face="arial">This should be Arial</font> The same behavior is in 3.2.0, and indeed in any version of Konqui/KHTML I have tried. No problem with Gecko-based browsers. M
this is a known limitation of the way fontconfig works. It doesn't return arial as valid font when you ask about the available fonts.
Hmmm... the above one-line HTML code yields the intended result with Firebird (i.e. I get Bitstream Vera Sans, my chosen replacement for Arial, and not the default font, which I have set to Bistream Vera Serif). Presumably fontconfig is passing the same info to both Firebird and KHTML? M
they ask for different things.
Confirmed to be a duplicate. I'm closing this as the other report is a little more verbose. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 57485 ***
