From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030120 Description of problem: when you go to font settings in evolution and pick "helvetica (adobe)" the dropdown doesn't show the test text, instead it shows squares. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. go to evolution settings > font preferences 2. change the variable width font to helvetica (adobe) 3. look at the dropdown Actual Results: the dropdown showed squares Expected Results: it should've shown the text Additional info:
This works for me here with current packages. What version of evolution and gtkhtml do you have installed? And what did you select for font style and size?
evolution-1.2.1-4 gtkhtml-1.1.7-1 helvetica (adobe) style: iso 10646-1 medium size 12 pixels i don't know if it's really a bug because it warns it's a 2-byte font
This looks better to me with evolution 1.2.2 and gtkhtml 1.1.8, but it will depend a lot on some other things as well, and if it doesn't work, there's really not much that can be done about it when dealing with gtk+ 1.2
