233531 - <PRE>formatted text not rendered monospace

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 159440

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Felix Wiemann]

User-Agent:       
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040207 Firefox/0.8

Text within <pre>-tags is *not* rendered monospace under the following
circumstances:

1. The <pre>-tag has a style-attribute: style="font-family: monospace;"
2. Tools -> Options -> General -> Fonts & Colors -> "Always use my fonts" is
   activated.

<http://www.ososo.de/misc/pre.html> demonstrates this.

Weird.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

not firefox specific

Comment 2

[Ilmari Karonen]

Reproduced on Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040413
Debian/1.6-5.

The same also happens if none of the font families specified for <pre> is found,
regardless of whether "Always use my fonts" is selected.

Test case:

  <style type="text/css">
    PRE { font-family: NoSuchFont; }
  </style>
  <pre>
    .................................
    :                               :
    :  This should be a rectangle.  :
    :...............................:
  </pre>

I see this too. Also, no scrollbar appears if the <pre> text goes off of the
right edge of the page. This forces the window to be maximised (which only helps
if the <pre> text is not bigger than the whole screen).
