 So, p style=font: oblique bold 100% sans-serif should work...
 and yes, it does.   :-)

http://www.w3schools.com/css/tryit.asp?filename=trycss_font

Is another good example. 

(For anyone not familiar, http://w3schools.com is an excellent resource.
Whilst full explanations are not always there, examining their code -
maybe cutting and pasting - pays dividends. I say maybe because it
doesn't work with Netsurf it seems.)

The problem is with NetSurf replacing spaces with hard spaces.

Easily solved using, for example, !ConvText using a script line of the form:

  [160]:[32]  |This turns a hard space into a normal one

- or you could use your favourite text editor to search and replace.


It can be useful to have a display font which shows hard spaces differently
to check.  A bit annoying, tho', for displaying news and mail from lazy
typers who catch the Alt key whilst typing spaces.

Okay, you can forget what I posted, which was wrong. A re-boot reinstated
NetSurf (r12443)'s ability to cut'n'paste and I have not noticed problems
with any hard spaces either.

peculiar F3 crash saving an Archive web page

2011-05-27 Thread Jim Nagel
this crash is repeatable; i'm mystified:

www.archivemag.co.uk, click on the URLs link in the left-hand menu, it loads, 
mouse over the main frame, F3 to save it -- Netsurf immediately quits leaving 
hourglass running.
   reload Netsurf, same sequence repeats.

this is shortly after a reboot.  a few minutes ago it crashed from the 
same F3 but froze the machine, hence the reboot.

from the same menu, the Booklets or Prices frames save with no 
problem.

curiouser, menu PageSave does the job fine, whereas F3 crashes.

RiscPC with OS 4.39, Netsurf r12436.

FWIW it works as it should do here; r12443 and RISC OS 5.16.

With best wishes,

you're not by any chance working on a cached version of the Archive 
URLs page?  it was revised yesterday and it's the revised version 
where i get the crashes.

that said, i downloaded Netsurf r12443 and no longer get the problem.


something for the freak show in Curio City, i suppose.

No. My boot sequence deletes NetSurf's Cache, Log, Cookies and URL
files, when the machine is started, each day.

Great.
