Well, it looks like face is reddest. Unchecked it and now it works fine. I didn't see where the page calls for a font in the source code but it must be in there somewhere. I wonder what font it calls that I don't have installed already.
I always just figured it was a flash problem because it exhibited the exact same symptoms that flash does when it isn't working.
It's kind of funny, but in the source there is a LOT of content that doesn't show on the screen. Stuff I've never seen in any browser or OS. And, it's not commented out. Weird.
Apparently you haven't seen much page source in a number of years. Family Search fonts are styled via CSS. The CSS is called by the HTML page in its <head>, via the following mess: <link media="screen" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://cdn.familysearch.org/common/bundle/home-0.25.12.css?urls=/common/oqu..." />
The URLs referred to there do virtually all the page styling, including font "suggestions" that your "allow pages to choose fonts" setting can have FF disregard.
Until <body>, nothing in the source is supposed to be displayed. Scripting can also cause display of things not present in the HTML source.
CSS gives web stylists amazing power to make pages hard or impossible to use. Luckily, FF has a view menu option to disregard the CSS altogether on a page by page basis, which while it won't leave many pages pretty, will at least make most possible to use in spite of inept or stupid styling.
I work in raw HTML everyday. I didn't do an "in depth" search for the style sheet url, just a quick scan of the source code. I never learned how to use a WYSIWYG editor. Looking at the CSS it appears that the specified fonts are, for most of the page content, "Lucida Grande","Lucida Sans Unicode","Lucida Sans",Geneva,Verdana,sans-serif". I see at least two of those fonts listed in my installed fonts. What I'm talking about that doesn't show is in the body of the page. -- “The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government lest it come to dominate our lives and interests”. - Patrick Henry - _ _... ..._ _ _._ ._ ..... ._.. ... .._ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
