Description Warren Togami 2003-01-21 03:19:37 EST

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030115

Description of problem:
In Phoebe2 Mozilla began to default to the following fonts:
Proportional: Serif
Serif: Bitstream Charter
Sans-serif: Bitstream Charter
Cursive: Bitstream Charter
Fantasy: Bitstream Charter
Monospace: Bitstream Charter

Problems
=========
1) Bitstream Charter seems to be ugly compared to the default fonts in previous
releases.
2) Bitstream Charter is not a Monospace font.


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Phoebe2
2. Use Mozilla as a new user.

Actual Results:  
Poor font defaults, and Monospace is not monospace.

Expected Results:  
Better font defaults, (based upon usability tests?)

Comment 1 Christopher Blizzard 2003-01-21 13:35:47 EST

Are you seeing those as the defaults in the fonts pref panel or actually being
used in the browser?

Comment 2 Warren Togami 2003-01-21 18:04:14 EST

Both.

These are probably the patches that I'm going to be using in our Mozilla release.

Comment 4 Warren Togami 2003-01-31 04:49:02 EST

Rawhide mozilla uses System fonts by default.  Should this bug be considered fixed?

Comment 5 Christopher Blizzard 2003-01-31 12:20:00 EST

Ahh, yes.  Thanks.  I forgot to close the bug.  You're not having any more
problems with that, right?
