Well, it's a quirk... and we already have the font_min_size to tackle the problem. I'd prefer to focus our scarce development time into issues deemed high priority (e.g. the column rendering in textblock). -- Cheers Jorge.-

dillo 2.1

by sandshrew＠gmail.com

One more thing that I forgot to mention in the first message is text wrapping in textareas. By default unlike all the popular browsers dillo does not wrap text in textareas. Actually discussion about this was started in this mailing list some time ago but unexpectedly finished after corvid pointed out that according to the standards it's up to the browser to decide whether to wrap text or not. Maybe, if someone thinks it's better when text is not wrapped, this could be made optional? Would it be easy to implement this setting with fltk?

Oh well. Just found this here: http://developer.mozilla.org/En/Fixing_Table_Inheritance_in_Quirks_Mode Not sure whether I want to do anything about it. Adding quirks in browsers just causes web developers to add quirks to fix them and so on...

css font-size and nested tables

by Johannes.Hofmann＠gmx.de

Hi, trying to find the reason for the tiny fonts in gmail, I found the following: <html> <head> <style type="text/css"> td {font-family: arial; font-size:50%} </style> </head> <body> <table> <tr> <td> foo bar </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <table> <tr> <td>foo bar</td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> is rendered with the same font size in both lines in firefox, konqueror, and opera. Can someone enlighten me why the nested <td> does not decrease the font size again in the second line? If I change the CSS to act on <table> instead of <td> it works as expected. Cheers, Johannes

It would certainly be possible to implement it in dillo by overriding the default fltk tab drawing code. Cheers, Johannes

Hmm, I thought you were saying that this was new behaviour, but I see the old code worked that way as well. You give the shortcut to fltk and it draws it however it wants to draw it. Oh, maybe your UI font used to be a serif font... It is currently hardcoded to use font_sans_serif (the reason being that whatever default UI font fltk picked out for us was reasonably likely to have worse unicode coverage than the fonts we set in dillorc), but there has been talk of adding prefs for UI font and fontsize -- which I'd be willing to do.
