Mozilla doesn't use Gtk2/pango text rendering mechanisms to render html pages. So, you cannot judge the font abilities of Gtk2 toolkit with mozilla. > The right and wrong of a toolkit become clear when using > Xft2. For me, Qt is the only choice when using Xft2. So I do I feel exactly the opposite: as Qt doesn't have automatic fontset mechanism, I very often end with characters displayed as empty white squares, giving unreadable text. Gtk may choose automatically a font that looks funny, but at least a character is always displayed in a readable way, I prefer it that way. That being said, it would be nice to have the ability to do user-configuration of glyph substitutions in gtk2; eg telling that when a given font XXXX is choosen, then characters of range 0x00-0xff should be ignored, and taken from font YYYY instead. The ascii range of some CJK fonts is simply too ugly... or even bugged in some cases. -- Ki �a vos v�ye b�n, Pablo Saratxaga http://chanae.walon.org/pablo/ PGP Key available, key ID: 0xD9B85466 [you can write me in Walloon, Spanish, French, English, Italian or Portuguese]
