Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 19959
fonts used in HTML Developer's Guide unreadable under Mozilla Linux
Last modified: 2013-02-24 21:09:45 UTC
The fonts used in the HTML version of the Developer's Guide are sometimes close to unreadable using Mozilla under Linux, even after magnification. I will attach a screenshot. I'm using Mandrake 9.1 and Mozilla 1.5b.
Created attachment 9618 [details] example of unreadable text
Created attachment 9619 [details] more bad fonts, from the Table of Contents
I use mozilla 1.5 but under windows. My suggestion is you make another screenshot which is showing actual url, instead of on your local documents. try to install more font, look like this is font problem
What difference does it make whether the page is served remotely or viewed from a local file? In either case, these are files from the OOo UDK. Whether the file is remote or local will not affect which fonts are chosen by the browser. I have indicated the Linux version and Mozilla version i am using. These are widely deployed versions, so the documents might render poorly for a great many people, not just me. This seems to be a Mozilla problem, since Konqueror renders the pages with quite legible fonts. (That is, it is a matter of how the browser maps the font names specified in the stylesheet to actual fonts on the system.) However, the problem could be solved on the UDK side for better rendering in Mozilla under Linux by changing the font names specified in the DevelopersGuide.css style sheet. If we didn't want to touch the original stylesheet, an alternative stylesheet could be chosen. Mozilla allows the user to apply arbitrary stylesheets to a document.
The difference is that we simply have no idea if you have the old version (where this defect still existed) or the new version (where we think this defect is fixed). So, pleas check if the defect occurs with the website too. If so, forward it to Jürgen Schmidt (jsc@openoffice.org). The Developers Guide is his area of expertise. Thanks. Again: I have a recent SDK version and Mozilla/Linux and don't have this problem.
