Problem with fonts.

Hello, I have loaded Dillo Browser on to my ARM based embedded platform. Presently, I am facing a problem with fonts. The messages that I get while the browser comes up are --------------------------------------------------------------- bad font: variable ** WARNING **: preferred sans-serif font "helvetica Sans" not found. ** WARNING **: preferred serif font "helvetica Serif" not found. ** WARNING **: preferred monospace font "helvetica Sans Mono" not found. ** WARNING **: preferred cursive font "helvetica Sans" not found. ** WARNING **: preferred fantasy font "helvetica Sans" not found. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Also, the size of the text that appears on Dillo (On the ARM based system) appears very small. However, the same page if I open with Dillo running on a Linux PC, will show bigger fonts. So, my questions are: 1. How do I get rid of the "bad font" error message on my ARM-based system ? I have used LTIB as the unix based development platform. 2. How to overcome the font size problem ? Playing around with max/min font_size and scale_factor in dillorc did not help. regards, Rajesh Marathe.

All right, then. Committed. Everyone: 1) This will surely require various tweaks. 2) If it threatens to drive you insane in the meantime, there's a dillorc option. Do you think we should put image/stylesheet redirection under its control? [for reference, this thread dates back to http://lists.auriga.wearlab.de/pipermail/dillo-dev/2009-December/007118.html ]

patch: white-space: pre-line as well

I don't know whether it's of much use, exactly, but while I was in the conceptual area...

css :visited and security
by corvid＠lavabit.com April 5, 2010

April 5, 2010

The other day, I saw another of those pages about using :visited and display in order to allow others to learn whether the user has visited a page. (I remember Johannes pointing to a page about this last year, too.) I wonder whether it would be sensible to have a dillorc option defaulting to NO for whether to use :visited.

line-height
by corvid＠lavabit.com April 4, 2010

April 4, 2010

Just committed some line-height code that Johannes and I wrote. When line-height is less than the font's ascent+descent, unhighlighting gets confused. I think it has to do with using the line dimensions for 'area' for drawing the background. I'll dig into it a little more later on. PS I see that firefox puts more space between its paragraphs than we do. Their value seems to be related to the font size, or the default font size, or something. Is there anything deep behind our use of 9?

patch: implement white-space: pre-wrap for vsource
by corvid＠lavabit.com March 31, 2010

Just a thought I had. The web is filled with horrible generated html with lines a thousand characters long. With this (and parse_embedded_css), those lines become more tolerable. I would commit it in two pieces, of course.

HTML 2.0 DTDs
by corvid＠lavabit.com March 31, 2010

March 31, 2010

I just mistyped an address on our site, got a 404, and noticed that I get an HTML bug msg about the DTD. The 404 page has: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN"> Html_parse_doctype has: static const char HTML20 [] = "-//IETF//DTD HTML//EN"; RFC 1866 has: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN"> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0 Level 2//EN"> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0 Level 1//EN"> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0 Strict//EN"> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0 Strict Level 1//EN"> So I would rather strncmp for "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0".

Hi Alan I had actually read quite a bit about seed and I had downloaded some sample code and played with it in the past. However your idea never occurred to me. I think it would be a fantastic idea to make the JavaScript within the layout engine talk to the "enclosing" GUI that is also written in JavaScript. I read through your blog, thanks for the link and your writings. I have been going around in circles for an amount of time I am too ashamed to confess. I have decided to write the back end and post pone the front end till I sort this out in my head. I would however still like to be a part of any project you might start related to this. I hope this won't come across the wrong way, I really like Dillo but I am wondering what is it's main niche it is planning to fill? Certainly it is fast and certainly it is small but is the target audience just people looking for a general purpose browser? Would it's speed and small size not make it ideal for being embedded in another application? Would this not be something that Gecko and Webkit cannot easily offer? I only have limited resources and time but I bet a corporate sponsor might fund this. Alan, I hope your studying goes well, sounds like someone else is sleep deprived too-Patrick
