Summary: times roman font not anti-aliased when specified with <font> in html

Sentry Crash Report:

Description murray 2003-11-10 22:06:26 UTC
Version:           4.0 (using KDE 3.1.93 (3.2 beta 1), compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.6.0-test9

If a page has an explicit use of times or times new roman
for instance:
<font face="times new roman, times, serif" size="5">

The text is not anti-aliased. In konqueror's settings, I have serif 
set to times new roman. If I use 
<font face="serif" size="5"> 
the text is anti-aliased. Also, if I use arial rather then "times new roman", 
the text is also anti-aliased.

If I use AbiWord, then times new roman is anti-aliased fine as well.
I believe this to be a regression over 3.1.4

This also looks like bug #67768. Seems to be picking times before times new roman. What happens if you remove times from:

<font face="times new roman, times, serif" size="5">

It looks like removing "times" makes no difference. In fact, "times" and 
"times new roman" look identical to me, when present by themselves.

thanks

Ah, things become clearer! While "times new roman" does not work 
"timesnewroman" works just fine.  Hope that helps,
I love using kde.
