Build ID: 2001 11 26 03. Windows 2000.

The dialog window "To display language characters correctly, you need to..."
is so small, that it's easily mistaken for some pesky
spyware-ad-click-tracker-whatever-javascript-evil-stuff.

Also, the window lacks a title.
Svante, are you still seeing this with a recent build?
I no longer see the dialog at all.
Ok - resolving as WFM.  Please reopen if you see this dialog again.

I think this dialog looks awful. Compare it with regular Mozilla alerts:
1. No title
2. No alert icon
3. Window does not size to content
4. Non-standard text alignment on buttons

not a toolkit issue; this is front end stuff.

Clearing future and nominating; this dialog looks awful and is nearly
unavoidable if you use mail or news. leaves a really bad impression of our product.

On trunk builds the dialog no longer appears in mailnews. See bug 139248.
>this dialog looks awful and is nearly unavoidable if you use mail or news.
the mail news issue have already been addressed.

dan, you are welcome to mark this nsbeta1 again if you think there are other
reason (mail and news does not count, since we won't pop up this dialog in mail
and news NOW. Yes, smontagu address it in bug 139248. We are waiting for
drivers's approval for landing 139248 into the branch now. We already got adt+

ftang: how hard is it to fix items in Comment #4?
1. No title
2. No alert icon
3. Window does not size to content
4. Non-standard text alignment on buttons

I think we should fix this bug.  This bug is about
the unprofessional looks of the dlgbox; It looks
bad in browser.
On Windows 98 with trunk builds of the last few weeks including 2002062208, this
dialog is so small no text can be seen at all. Is this new behavior covered by
this bug, or should I file a new bug?
Here's a screenshot of what the dialog has been looking like for me. To
reproduce, go to http://tw.news.yahoo.com/ or http://www.joins.com/ or
http://www.nikkei.co.jp/ (depending on what fonts you already have installed).

Attached patch should fix it — — Splinter Review 
this patch should fix the "too small" issue, though not the missing title
(that's another bug; namely bug 126903)

However, I am not currently able to test it.
Note that this is code does just what the js code in package-%s.xul would do.

I think this is "fixed" now, the download font dialog is not to small anymore
(changed late oct 2002?), it is to big (bug 183046) and it has a (misleading)
title (bug 183045).
Suggest WFM.
Not fixed, your forbid to resize via JS in the prefs...
