Although I am generally pleased with Netsurf, and spend many hours entertaining my friends with it's unique capabilities, especially with its graphical History, I still cannot print with it. I keep on getting the following error code: 'An error has occurred when printing: Undefined font handle (print cancelled)' This happens on all five of our machines, all RPC SA running !Printers 1.91a, on Select or Adjust 4.39. It happens regardless of whether it's asked to print to printer or print to file. Standard fonts are used. When trying to install Riscos 6 (that's another story) I cleaned one machine down to a bare disc, with a fresh !Boot, installed printers, still !Netsurf wouldn't print, with the same error code. I reported it as a bug ages ago, but nothing seems to have been done about it...

[Netsurf-develop] Hard disc access/polling

by phil.c

Hi. Is it normal for the Hard disc to be continually accessed (very short duration) once you have accessed a web site even though you've closed the window. This continues until Netsurf is quit. Restarting Netsurf does not introduce the accessing until you access another web site. Thanks Phil -- www.heter.co.uk/inf 01924 666101/666102/918059 FAX 08444 846109

[Netsurf-develop] HSBC again.

by Dr Peter Young

I've posted a bug report on the tracker about having had the HSBC site http://www.hsbc.co.uk/1/2/personal/pib-home twice completely stiff NetSurf, needing the reset button to escape the hang. Once was on the log-in page and the other using "Return to my accounts". I know there are other HSBC customers who use NetSurf to access their accounts; have any of these also found this, or is my setup to blame? With best wishes, Peter. -- Peter \ / \ Prestbury, Cheltenham, Glos.

[Netsurf-develop] Version 1.0 and test versions

by James Bursa

Following the release of 1.0, here's the plan for NetSurf versions. * Bugs in 1.0 will be fixed and released as 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, ..., as needed. There will probably be no new features in these versions. The aim is to remain stable and low-risk with no major work. * Main development will continue in a version called "2.0 (Development)". There will be automatic test builds of this (as before). This is the cutting-edge version with higher risk of problems, but also new features. Eventually this will lead to the 2 series. We hope that many of you on this list will continue with us on the test builds journey! You can always go back to 1.n when it goes wrong.

[Netsurf-develop] Problems thrown up by include overhall

by Matthew Hambley

Just a quick note to document some problems which seem to have been thrown up by the recent overhal of the way "include"s are handled. Firstly the pre-built stuff for ROS builds available from the web site. The prebuilt libxml2 archive contains the directory structure "include.libxml2.libxml.*/h" while the source appears to be looking for "include.libxml.*/h". The prebuilt header and C files (e.g. scanner.c) seem to have the wrong permissions so they are visible but not downloadable. Finally I find I need the attached patch before I can compile successfully under either ROS or a Posix environment. I have a feeling I've been through this loop before but can't remember what the outcome was. Is my OSLib (v6.90) too old or too new? Other than that it still builds fine under ROS. -- (\/)atthew

[Netsurf-develop] Hotlist

by Colin Matthews

I've reported this on the bug tracker. After a Netsurf (1.0) crash I get the message on loading: The hotlist was unable to be correctly loaded. (<html>...<body>....<ul> not found). and the Hotlist symbol is greyed out. In Choices.WWW.Netsurf the Hotlist has 'Empty Document. The document sent by the server is empty'. I use Bookmaker for my hotlist so am not worried by losing it, but I'd like to know how to put this right. -- f r o m C o l i n M a t t h e w s cmatt(a)dpmail.co.uk

[Netsurf-develop] Netsurf / A7000+ / RISC OS 4.39 Adjust

by Alexander Ausserstorfer

After starting Netsurf on an A7000+ machine with 76 MB RAM and running RISC OS 4.39 Adjust I'm wondering about the change of the hourglass. Sometimes the colours change to yellow/red. Is this still happen on all machines or just here? Another point: Running Netsurf and shotdown the machine freeze it. I don't know why. This was still happen by all versions of Netsurf running here up to version 1.0. I can also "quit" Netsurf before without problems, but a shutdown freeze my machines, also. This is just happen after running Netsurf so I suppose it's on Netsurf. Thank you for your support here. Alex'

[Netsurf-develop] HDRA site

by John Rye

Hello All Could one of you experts have a look at the Garden Organic/HDRA site. This is a horrible mess on Netsurf Build 12 Mar 2007. Is this a Netsurf problem, or a ghastly site ?
