Details

Page with incorrect html results in wrong font. The parser is smart enough to
fix this. Here's the test case:

<TABLE BORDER=1><TR>
  <TD>
    <FONT FACE="geneva, ms sans serif"><A HREF="foo">text here</a></FONT>
  </TD>
</tr></TABLE>
Assignee: rickg → pierre
On second thought -- the parser is doing the right thing already. The style
system seems to be choosing the wrong font. Reassign to pierre.

Summary: Font error due to bad html... → "MS Sans Serif" font not chosen
The HTML here isn't bad. The problem is that the "MS Sans Serif" font is not
selected, and the "Geneva" font is not installed, thus we fall back on another
font (which happens, in this case, to be a serif font).

As to why we don't grok "MS Sans Serif"... bug 22031.
