Hey All,

Seems that the Netscape problem i have been investigating is related
to fonts. Netscape does something like this:

CreateWindowEx()
width=0;
height=0;
for font in (...) do
    EnumFontFamiliesA()
    if the font is right
       CreateFontIndirect()
       SelectObject(font)
       GetTextMetrics() ---> height
       GetTextExtentPointA() ---> width
    fi
end
..
MoveWindow(  1,1,width,height,0);

The problem seems to be a different response from EnumFontFamiliesA on
the first and second runs... no font is selected on the first run.
This seems to explain the problem below... i'm still on it...

Mike

the traces below are using netscape -debugmsg trace+relay
