Just an FYI, I just ran through the compile of Mozilla 0.9.5, which installed without any problems. Then when I got the thing up and running I found that the font rendering for style sheets using smaller fonts was all dinked. Mind you, I'm also using xfstt to true type support so I can see what things look like on a Windows box. Site in question... http://www.testequity.com/ With 0.9.4 the fonts on this site rendered flawlessly. Other than some of the form objects it rendered this site exactly as it would appear on Windows. Pretty important stuff for web development. As a reference, this site still renders properly using Netscape 4.78. For some more main stream examples, Google's front page has it's fonts all dinked as well. MSN, now that it's showing up for Moz again, looks great in 0.9.4, and dinked in 0.9.5. This one is NOT Microsoft's fault. http://www.google.com/ http://www.msn.com/ I posted a question over on Mozilla's general newsgroup already, and will be doing some hunting around bugzilla for futher information. As it is, if the web browser is really important to you I'd suggest holding off on 0.9.5 for a little while. I've already uninstalled it myself and put 0.9.4 back on from a package. The REALLY clever bit is trying to take Galeon back to a previous version as all the dependencies for the prior version got updated one tiny notch above where I'm at with Gnome. I was dirt stupid and upgrading Galeon prior to doing the same Mozilla itself. I definitely won't be making that mistake again. Pretty much have to completely reinstall the entirety of Gnome so things stay in sync. Seems like every component has three dependancies that incremented by 0.0.1. I don't even run Gnome, just Galeon for crying out loud. Okay, rant over. Later on, -- "A short saying often contains much wisdom." -Sophocles To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
