Description Wolfgang Westphal 2002-02-28 22:36:57 UTC

(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           khtml
Version:           4.0 (using KDE 2.9.0 3 (CVS >= 20020213))
Severity:          normal
Installed from:    compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.2.13
OS/Compiler notes: 

When using font names with the manufactorer suffix as they are displayed in the font lists (like "[Monotype]" or "[Xft]") KHTML most times uses a standard font for text rendering. This makes it for example quite hard to find a font for the message display in KMail.

The testcase below should demonstrate what I mean. Courier New and Lucida Console are only used when specified in the "pure form" whereas Monospace821 BT works with and without "[Xft]".

<html>
<body>
<p><font face="Courier New [Xft]">Courier New [Xft]</font></p>
<p><font face="Courier New [Monotype]">Courier New [Monotype]</font></p>
<p><font face="Courier New">Courier New </font></p>
<p><font face="Lucida Console [Xft]">Lucida Console [Xft]</font></p>
<p><font face="Lucida Console">Lucida Console</font></p>
<p><font face="Monospac821 BT [Xft]">Monospac821 BT [Xft]</font></p>
<p><font face="Monospac821 BT">Monospac821 BT</font></p>
</body>
