Some web pages have no font anti-aliasing (Linux version)
Hello, I observed that fonts on some web pages seem to lack anti-aliasing. Example: http://asoiaf.westeros.org/ I use Debian and i tried both the version from the repos (2.7.3) and the official builds from the site, they all behave the same. Firefox/Iceweasel behaves the same though, so i suppose that the issue is down to the rendering engine. Other pages look fine with anti aliasing and all. Why is that? Other browsers (Chrome/Chromium, Opera) have no such issues (but Midori seems to behave just like Seamonkey though). -- O zi buna, Kertesz Laszlo ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

The conclusion is that, since this is contrary to the HTML specifications, it is generally NOT allowed. Only those special characters that are part of the Unicode standard can be represented in HTML. Since Wingdings are not supported by plain-text, ASCII-formatted E-mail, you would need to use HTML-formatted E-mail.

Re: Use Wingdings in SM mail
Interviewed by CNN on 21/03/2012 02:18, Mike C told the world: Is there a way to Use Wingdings in SM mail? I don't think so. Not easily, anyway. The problem with wingdings/webdings and other dingbat fonts is that they aren't Unicode fonts, so there's no way to provide a fallback glyph if the recipient happens to not have that particular font: the recipient has to have a compatible font, that is, one with the the glyphs in the exact same order, AND to be configured to map the fonts correctly if they don't have the exact same name. Since e-mail (and Webmaking, for that matter) is a medium where you have *no* control over the environment where it will be read, this is discouraged -- because it's a recipe for broken pages. Say you pick a nice broad arrow pointing right in Wingdings3; this is character 0xE2. Unless the recipient has Wingdings 3, he won't be able to see the arrow. Even having a large Unicode font, like Arial Sans Unicode (which, I'm pretty sure, does have glyphs for right-pointing arrows), won't be any help, because 0xE2 in any Unicode font points to the character â. Even having a different Wingding font won't help, because, for instance, in WingDings2 this code points to an asterisk. Yes, Windows and Macs usually do have this font installed. So what? This is no longer a Windows-only world. For instance, AFAIK Android phones and tablets don't come with a Wingdings-compatible font. Same, I think, for Blackberries. (I have seen some info that IOS devices do have Wingdings, but apparently it's called Wingdings-regular there.) In the Linux world, you can't be certain that there will be a compatible font installed. And so on. Is it POSSIBLE? Well, maybe. Seamonkey Mail and Composer won't even list fonts with weird glyph mappings, such as Wingdings. But there might be some way to work around it. I just don't think it's worth the trouble. -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm. Unauthorized use will be prosecuted under the DMCA. -=-=- ...

I use mail and browser and have a lot of tabs open and I almost never reboot or restart Seamonkey unless I need to.

Someone suggested I try the 64bit version of Seamonkey, and I now am. The performance improvement is dramatically positive. I have not yet experienced the same trouble that I was having before, and I have really tried to open a lot of windows and tabs. Unfortunately, I just realized that Google maps is not working for me.

From what I read, I understand that emoji have been incorporated into Unicode 6. I didn't find out if the ios and android implementations use Unicode or the older Japanese encoding. BUT, even under the Japanese encoding, it should be possible to unambigously encode emoji in messages/HTML by simply specifying the correct code page, making it possible to use any font that includes the emoji character range for rendering. Not so with Wingdings, which don't have their own codepages -- they mostly replace glyphs on the standard Western European codepages with custom glyphs. The different versions of Wingdings each use the same codepoint for different glyphs, even. The only way to get the correct glyph is to select a specific font. -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.

Menus on Windows 8 touchscreen
I have the Acer W500 Windows tablet (which has both a touch screen and a docking keyboard/mouse). It came with Windows 7, but I installed the Windows 8 developer Preview and later the Consumer Preview on it. In both DP and CP Windows 8 versions, in touchscreen mode the menus in FireFox and SeaMonkey do not work (I haven't tried Thunderbird). The menu drops down, but pressing an item does not work. It is as if the menu is transparent -- the press registers on the the window underneath the menu. This does not happen with other desktop applications that I have tried. The menus work fine with the mouse. I don't know if this touchscreen problem occurred with Windows 7, because I installed Windows 8 as soon as I got the device. Does anybody else see this (I found one other posting of this, also with the Acer W500, but there were no responses). Is there something unusual about the way menus are implemented in the Mozilla products (on Windows)? -- David Wilkinson ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Thanks for the confirmation. It would then appear to be a SM problem. As I mentioned, I think in my case it's a configuration issue (PEBKAC). For example: the wmv on this site: http://www.ifactorystream.eu/wmtest.html Played fine in Chromium. But in FF, SM, and Opera I only got a black window. I then reinstalled an mplayer package (again linux), reloaded FF and SM, and now the video plays just fine in FF, SM, and Opera. So, were I you I'd go looking for similar streams as you were viewing on the NASA site and see if perhaps the issue is a plugin (installed or lack thereof). This link iFactorystream works perfect.
