I have now submitted a bug report. The problem is similar to bug 3577471 reported by Chris Young but his problem was not present with version 2.9. The problem is minor, but it is likely to be the first experience of NetSurf for new users who have bought a Raspberry Pi because NetSurf is shipped with both the RISC OS and Raspian Linux. -- John - http://mug.riscos.org/

I just used the OBJECT REPLACEMENT CHARACTER: http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/fffc/index.htm Some font I converted with TTF2f must include it. Maybe Cyberbit or Arial Unicode MS. If anyone wants to help they could create and add the glyph to !NetSurf.Resources.Fonts.NSSymbol. Cheers, -- Michael Drake (tlsa) http://www.netsurf-browser.org/

I have been wondering about that. I saw the JavaScript work going into the browser, but thought, "Surely they don't have a layout engine that can cope yet?" Most of the JS I've ever encountered is there for no better purpose than producing flashy page transitions (a classic example of style over substance, and the bane of the web), so presumably NetSurf isn't much use at those yet. I do hope it at least does something about the perennial curse of "Warning: button could not be activated", though. Presumably mostly for the benefit of these people: http://securityreactions.tumblr.com/post/33891938791/but-we-sanitize-input-with-javascript -- __<^>__ / _ _ \ It is written that Geeks shall inherit the Earth.

CI #607 works much better. Thank you! (Well, it now displays "ff fc" instead of an image, but that's still preferable to the alternative. Any RISC OS-friendly Unicode fonts with this character in them?)

Yes, we changed how we deal with images that we fail to decode. Now they are indicated as you see in #606, and you can open a context menu over them and save them to try with another app. Previously they caused the rendering of the page to be aborted, causing odd redraw glitches. -- Michael Drake (tlsa) http://www.netsurf-browser.org/

On the main page of arstechnica.com some of the text has the top chopped off. Also where the text overlays an image only the first word that overlays the image clips the image to a white background. Chris.
