Hi all,

I love Epiphany's ability to disable the setting "Allow web pages to specify
their own fonts" -- I use it all the time, setting all my web pages to
render variable-width text in Bitstream Charter, which I find elegant and
highly readable. I'm using the development version included in Ubuntu
Feisty, currently at version 2.17.90, and I've recently noticed some strange
behaviour with font rendering: a few sites such as
http://www.ailab.si/orange (which specifies a Central European encoding)
render in the jaggy adobe-times-medium-r-normal-* fonts.

There seem to be several potential bugs behind the scenes. One is that the
Bitstream Charter font is not available in the "Variable width" list box in
Edit | Preferences | Detailed Font Settings when the "For language" box is
set to Central European. (But perhaps the Bitstream Charter doesn't support
this character set correctly and this is expected?) But choosing "Default"
in the Variable width list box has no effect for the Central European coding
-- after closing and re-opening the Detailed Font Settings dialog, the
option seems to be reset to "sans-serif". Yet the text displays in a serif
font (jaggy Times). Surely Epiphany should at least default to the GNOME
font choice?

Does anyone understand what's going on?

-- Ed
