[Netsurf-develop] Re: TTF2F
by Gavin Wraith
This release can be obtained from http://moose.mine.nu:6888/ttf2f-003.zip
Alas, I am unable to connect to this URL, either with Oregano2,
NetSurf or Wget. I have tried turning off my router's firewall,
to no avail. Come to think of it, I have never been able to
connect to this host. I do not know why. I think it may have
something to do with the port number. If anybody who can connect
could email me the zip file I would be grateful.

At first the heading was not fully rendered.. but what still don't render
are the menu bouttond for the search fields... however, as they are Java
script this is doesn't matter at the moment. (Java Script not supported)
As an aside: Whilst checking this out I had both NetSurf and O2 loaded and
the page up on both...I found a menu on the Netsurf screen and entered a
choice...okay so far... I then clicked on Go to see what would happen... a
blank O2 window was opened....
Thanks

Or not (I note that you've changed it from the attempt at an HTML 3.2
doctype you had there earlier). The doctype declaration is case sensitive,
so you want
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd">

You've attempted to turn off frame borders by adding a border=0 attribute
to the frameset element. This is invalid as no such attribute exists in
the DTD. I suggest you investigate the frameborder attribute on frame
elements (note that NetSurf currently ignores all attributes on frame
elements, so you'll discover that the border is omnipresent, regardless of
what you do with frameborder)

[Netsurf-develop] Another Font oddity
by Gavin Wraith
I have found a Unicode font with which NetSurf displays
Greek accents correctly, namely
http://everywitchway.net/linguistics/fonts/chrysuni.html
but it does not display spaces between words correctly,
whether the text is English or Greek.
The /Base99 encodings file for the font has /.notdef for
the first 32 lines followed by /.NotDef for line 33
followed by /space, /exclam, ... for lines 34, 35, ... .
Is this wrong? What is the difference between /.NotDef and
/.notdef?

I recommend making your page validate before complaining it doesn't look
OK in a given browser. In any case, I believe the situation with
NetSurf and frames is clearly explained.

I can connect to the web via Netsurf version 0.00
(42nd Martober 1982) and the Oregano2 demo, both
supplied with VirtualRPC_SE, but not with current
Netsurf versions as it reports:
'No domain name servers are configured, so only
browsing local files will be possible. Use Configure
to set your name server(s)'
Of course you can't configure this through RISC OS on
VRPC. Presumably I've not set up INET correctly in
VRPC, is that it? But then how do the above 2
programs and mail receipts run OK?
Barry
PS O, what a tortuous route to reply to mails via a
different ISP when abroad, copying the original mail
from VRPC to PC then using web mail, etc! I hope it
isn't too garbled, sorry for the delay

[Netsurf-develop] Making minimal test cases for broken pages
by James Bursa
Many of the posts on this list are reports of a page that isn't
rendering correctly or doesn't work in some way. Unfortunately, we're
aware that we are not keeping up with investigating these reports.
The reason for this is simply that it takes a long time to figure out
which part of the page is causing the problem, and then find and fix
the bug. We have to avoid spending all our time fixing bugs so that
development makes progress.
To help us save time, you can create a minimal test case that
demonstrates the bug. This is a page that's as small as possible,
while still triggering the bug. You will need knowledge of HTML and
preferably CSS. To create a minimal test case, follow these steps:
1. Make a full save of the page. Check that the bug is still
present when the saved page is loaded from disc.
2. Load the index page into an editor and start removing code
that is probably unrelated to the bug. Save and reload
regularly to check that the bug is still present.
3. Repeat with any CSS files for the page. If possible, move
styles or stylesheets into the HTML and remove the CSS
files. Remove images if possible.
Ideally you should end up with a single HTML file a few lines long
that triggers the bug. You can then post your file to the list if it's
small, or upload an archive somewhere and post a link if it isn't
small or needs related files such as CSS or images.
However, please continue reporting URLs of broken pages if you aren't
confident doing the above. Also, please follow the guidelines here:
http://netsurf.sourceforge.net/info#Bugs
Thanks!

[Netsurf-develop] Problem with iso-8859-15
by Stefaan Claes
Hello,
I found a minor problem with a webpage that uses the iso-8859-15 encoding.
<http://www.prediger-verpackung.de/>
Why does NS display cyrillic chars ? E.g. a tse ((utf-8: D1 86)) instead of
an o with an umlaut (on this webpage: F6, which is AFAIK the correct
iso-8859-15 code for an o with umlaut)
Stefaan
ps
iso-8859-15: The new Latin9 nicknamed Latin0 aims to update Latin1
