[Netsurf-develop] Font query
by John
I wonder whether anyone can explain why I am having problems with the
display of apostophes received from a Windoze-using friend?
He writes to me using "X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook, Build 10.0.6822" for
his emails, sends me text to put up on a website. For some reason, when
he presses the ' key he sees it as an apostrope on his machine, but when
it arrives on mine it is read as ASCII 146, in other words as
If I copy his text without checking for apostophes it ends up on the web
page as a very strange symbol - looks like a tiny 00 over 92 in a block of
four numbers.
Strangely, this is only seen on NetSurf. I have tried various font
displays, but in each case this strange symbol persists. Using !XChars to
hunt through all my fonts, I cannot find this particular symbol anywhere.
O2 displays it as an apostrophe, as do other browsers I have tried.

[Netsurf-develop] Printing from NetSurf via Draw
by Tim Powys-Lybbe
On the rare occasions when I print something from Netsurf, I do it by
exporting the page to Draw and then printing from there. However
sometimes it totally fails to print on my postscript printer; I
eventually found that this could be rectified by changing the font from
Ctberbit to Trinity, but I still get caught out when I forget a month
later.
Is there any other way of dealing with this problem?

[Netsurf-develop] Layout problem with 06 Jan build
by Richard Porter
I've just downloaded the 6th January build and found a big layout
problem on my localhost home page. Whereas it used to fit comfortably
on the screen, and does in Oregano 1, Fresco and FF, the page has now
been expanded with much bigger spaces between the lines so I have to
scroll down to see the bottom quarter. On top of that it looks
horrible because of all the extra blank space. What have you changed?

Firefox and Safari are incorrect here (Opera and NetSurf are correct). If
you look at the box model (http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/box.html, 8.1) then
you'll notice that as margins are transparent then a body with a margin
should not have it's background image extended to the edge of the window. I
assume their support is legacy and due to the HTML marginwidth and
marginheight properties.

It has a default padding on some elements only. You can see which ones in the
base stylesheet, !NetSurf.Resources.CSS.
If that doesn't explain it, please post some HTML that shows the problem.

Re: [Netsurf-develop] Making NetSurf the Default Browser

What I do is put (a link to) NetSurf in Resources:$.Apps using
AddApp in an Obey file in !Boot.Choices.Boot.PreDesk and I hide
Oregano2 away to ensure it is not filer_booted at startup. I
also put a "shadow" application !Oregano2! in Resources:$.Apps;
clicking on it will filer_run Oregano2, but its presence in
Resources:$.Apps does not cause Oregano2 to be filer_booted.
That way I get NetSurf as the default but I can switch between
browsers by clicking on the appropriate icons in Resources:$.Apps.
Was this the sort of information you needed?
