Yes, when Netsurf is run, and I accept its Font$Dir changing question, an extra folder belonging to Netsurf appears in EFP. If I then remove that folder in EFP, and then quit and re-load Netsurf, the question still remains. In other words, eliminating the folder from EFP doesn't prevent the same problem recurring when Netsurf is next run. EFP still asks the same question. Sorry if this is not a Netsurf problem.

Ah, I thought that was Ctrl-drag but I wish it wouldn't put a line feed in at the end of the URL as I normally want to add a quote at that point.

It's also not really a "problem": it's deliberate, and the logs are needed to debug some outstanding issues in the browser. I'd guess that the more people who use the latest test versions and offer to supply logs whenever they find problems, the sooner it will be possible to turn off detailed logging again. And as also mentioned here, the logs compress very well if you need to keep copies of any. -- Steve Fryatt - Leeds, England http://www.stevefryatt.org.uk/

No-one is (or should be) suggesting that you modify NetSurf to remove the message: adding and removing fonts is a completely legitimate action on RISC OS, and I assume that NetSurf is adding fonts for a reason. Chris has pointed out the reason that EasyFontPro gives a warning. You now need to fix Easy Font Pro to ignore what NetSurf is doing: I'm afraid that the problem is with EFP. -- Steve Fryatt - Leeds, England http://www.stevefryatt.org.uk/
