I'm having a very frustrating experience with Konqueror and Kmail.
I've ready all about prettification of X fonts, and have xfs running so as to
provide nice scalable fonts at all sizes. For the most part, this is a
fantastic set of tools to work with the internet. I've brought windows ttf
fonts over from my windows machine, and they work, in general, perfectly.
However, once in a while, I'll get one of two problems:
1) a web page or an email where the fonts are set to something that's
unreadable. Not just non-pretty, but downright unreadable. It's as if a 5
point times font were scaled up to whatever is needed. In KMail, turning off
the 'prefer html' for the folder has no effect. In Konqueror, if I click the
enlarge button 10 times or so, The font turns into a clunky Times knock off
(and the page is *very* large overall, of course).
2) On some web pages (like http://www.lokigames.com) a font that looks like
"lucida blackletter (b*h)" gets displayed...which again makes the text
non-readable. (In this case, I'm suspicious that 'Lucida' is in the CSS, and
the font matching algorithm Konqueror is using finds the first 'Lucida' font.)
Any clues how to solve this?
