Description Adrian von Bidder 2009-08-12 12:38:17 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.3.0)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

Heyho!

Now that I can run a more or less up to date webkit again ;-)

Font rendering is completely bogus and makes webkit kpart unusable here.  I have a netbook, which means that I have quite small fonts configured to make best use of the 9" display (is tere a netbook friendly theme, btw?  window decorations are just too big ...)

See the attached screenshots.

This is Debian (mostly testing and unstable) with kdelibs5 4:4.3.0-1 package recompiled with the recent kio/global.{cpp,h} fix; webkit is r1009231 (but IIRC the problem was present earlier.)  Everything else should be KDE 4.3, but the configuration has a history back to 4.1 or so.  Just tell me if you need more information...

cheers

Are you still able to reproduce this bug?
Comment 4 Adrian von Bidder 2009-10-05 09:02:10 UTC
Heyho Urs,

As recently stated on the mailing list, font handling has been vastly improved.

bugs.kde.org looks fine now; remaining font gotcha is mainly that monospace fonts are not monospace in <pre> tags (IIRC I mentioned this and http://pylonshq.com/docs/en/0.9.7/logging/it was identified as an upstream webkit bug.)  See for example the pylons docs: http://pylonshq.com/docs/en/0.9.7/logging/

Given the rather generic (and, sorry about that, overly pessimistic) title for the bug report, I'll leave it up to you if you want to keep it open.

cheers

<pre> tage rendering issue is a known bug in QtWebKit's engine, at least to me. The same thing happens happens in the Arora browser as well. A ticket needs to be opened upstream, but since report is completely unrelated to that, I am going to close this ticket.

A ticket has been opened upstream for the <pre> tag problem:

[Comment from a bug triager]
Moving old kdewebkit bug reports to kdelibs/kdewebkit. Sorry about the noise
