On the right is the same system with X restarted after removing both Arial & Albany from the font path. In both, KDE's font configurator has been used to specify Liberation Sans as the CSS menu font, and it's clear in both that the browser menu fonts used are the same as the CSS menu styled fonts in the loaded testcase HTML page. The problem is Firefox & Epiphany (and SeaMonkey, though it's very hard to tell that's the case), unlike Konq, and in spite of the setting in KControl for GTK apps to use KDE-specified fonts, are ignoring KDE's direction to use Liberation Sans as the CSS menu/UI font. On both sides, Konq is using Liberation Sans as specified by the KDE font controller. On the left, the Geckos are using the first available font in the sans-serif list in /etc/fonts/suse-post-user.conf, Albany AMT, while with the removal of Albany and Arial on the right, the next available font in that sans-serif list is used, which is the considerably larger Verdana (the "y" in History is the givaway that it isn't the equally large DejaVu Sans). Note that it's clear in the kcmshell applets in this image that the absence of both Arial & Albany confirms the generic Sans Serif to fall back to the next in /etc/fonts/suse-post-user.conf sans-serif list, Verdana. I know the Pangofied FF3's Gecko version renders fonts a bit differently than its predecessor used by SeaMonkey, and that tipping points between 1px & 2px stem/stroke weights are involved. They account for the big difference between SeaMonkey & Firefox, but they are separate problems for separate bugs. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
