Re: Missing up-arrow in menus?
On Monday 18 May 2009, Simon Smith wrote: My preferred desktop font is Homerton Medium, which does not contain a glyph for the hollow up-arrow sometimes used to indicate Shift in application menus. For example, NetSurf tells me that to save a page I should press F3, and to full-save a page I should press ... F3. I can get the symbol back by reverting to the system font, which I'd rather not do. Are there any other work-arounds? NetSurf is not the only victim, although it is the main app. I use that's affected - mainly because Netsurf actually troubles to mention the shortcuts it uses in its menus. The Wimp should automatically use this symbol from the WIMPSymbol font if it isn't in your chosen font. WIMPSymbol comes in ROM. I can think of two possibilities: 1. Your Font$Path is missing the ROM fonts directory Resources:$.Fonts. Try *Show Font$Path to check. 2. You have a non-standard Homerton Medium that has an empty glyph for the arrow instead of no glyph. Homerton Medium is also in ROM, but you might have it somewhere else too. Run !NetSurf.FixFonts to check for this. James -- James Bursa, NetSurf developerhttp://www.netsurf-browser.org/

What you're seeing seems to show that it isn't interpreting that page as UTF-8 correctly. James -- James Bursa, NetSurf developerhttp://www.netsurf-browser.org/
Re: Bug: 'Search Text' does not work in framed sites.
Obviously the search tool should search through everything. This will be fixed sometime. I don't know when because we can't plan to that detail. I hope this will terminate this aimless thread. James -- James Bursa, NetSurf developerhttp://www.netsurf-browser.org/

I never understood why NS ignores image sizes. Ignoring the size makes it possible to display the entire alt text without it being cropped to the size of the image, so the page is more useful while images are loading. Essentially img src=... alt=NetSurf is treated like object data=...NetSurf/object. James

So Netsurf(r4190) appears to be working correctly, I've had no need to use the shift key to force a download. Odd. Maybe there's something in your mimemap file that makes Netsurf think it can do something with a Midi file. Regards Kev Well, I've got it to work for me. I know nothing about mimemap files. If you want to follow this up, tell me where to look for it and I'll send you a copy and you can tell me what's different. I don't think Mimemap is the cause. NetSurf wouldn't be consulting it for this operation. The only possibility I can think of is that you have a plugin installed that claims it can handle MIDI files. Try this in a TaskWindow: *Show [EMAIL PROTECTED] If there is one ending in FD4, that's causing this, and there's a bug either in NetSurf or the plugin that's stopping the file from playing.

Re: Jpeg problem with the two most recent versions
On Saturday 31 May 2008, David H Wild wrote: I regularly use NetSurf to display Jpeg images attached to emails by dragging them there from the Pluto version. Until the last two versions of NetSurf this has worked perfectly but now it will display the first one correctly but, when any subsequent **email** jpeg is dragged the first one is displayed again. Dragging a Jpeg from my hard disc displays correctly but it still doesn't break NetSurf's grip on the first email jpeg. This was broken temporarily but should have been fixed in r4227. Please try again with the latest build. James -- James Bursa, NetSurf developerhttp://www.netsurf-browser.org/

Re: Netsurf and the Euro

There is a problem with the page. What is the URL? http://gastgeber.miesbach.de/gzi00041.htm The page is not correct. It is using the Windows-1252 encoding, but doesn't specify that in the headers or in the HTML. NetSurf's default is Latin-1, which doesn't have the Euro. The equivalent HTML-code is: br30,#150; bis 45,#150; #128; pro Person und Tagbr The page has actual characters, not entities like this. The meaning is different. HTML entities always refer to Unicode numbers, irrespective of the page encoding. So #150; or #128; will never work, because Unicode has nothing there. NetSurf displays them as 00 and 00 96 80 respectively (hexadecimal). James -- James Bursa, NetSurf developerhttp://www.netsurf-browser.org/
Re: Fatal crash on BBC beta home page.
The new BBC beta home page ( www.bbc.co.uk/home/beta ) has been gradually getting more manageable with NetSurf (currently 23 Dec 2007 16:15 on RISC OS 5.13). However, today it has crashed the app with a fatal error. I've tried to report this on the bug tracker, but get an error message when I try to submit. Is this because the log file is too big? If so, how should I get this report and log file to the developers? Yes, it's probably too big. Please submit the report without the log file, and email the log file to me. Thanks! James
