28535 - Font face not being applied

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 22031

(Core :: Layout, defect, P3)

Description

[Sitsofe Wheeler]

Steps to reproduce:
1. Visit http://www.cnet.com/
2. Scroll down to the bottom of the page
3. If you look at the small writing (e.g. Monitors) underneath the heading CNET 
Auctions: Starting Bids it appears in the wrong font.

Expected:
Arial style font

Result:
Times New Roman style font

I narrowed it down to the line
<font face="ms sans serif, geneva" size="-2">Handheld</font>
I checked and I have MS Sans Serif on my system. Both Navigator and IE can 
display this correctly.

Build id: 2000021808 WinNT 4 SP6

I think this may be happening because Moz is asking for a font size which this 
font does not have...

Pierre: this likes a font sub bug, and it's also showing the font scaling bug.

Reassigned back to me these bugs that shouldn't have left my list.

I tested this on Linux, Mac and Windows, the page displays correctly. I think 
this should be resolved as worksforme.

Thanks for watching, sitsofe. We'll try harder to reproduce it.

It's a dup of bug 22031 "'MS Sans Serif' (+ other fonts) not recognized on WinNT"

SPAM. HTML Element component deprecated, changing component to Layout. See bug
