29351 - Setting a bad font in prefs should be ignored

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: Preferences, defect)

Description

[Pierre Saslawsky]

This bug comes out of bug 28883.

To reproduce:
- Enter these 2 lines in your prefs.js file:
    user_pref("font.name.serif.x-western", "Times New Roman");
    user_pref("font.name.serif.x-western", "QWEQWEQWE");
- Launch Mozilla and go the font prefs panel
==> Bug: the selected font defaults to the first font in the list.

Expected behavior:
We should ignore font names that don't exists (like "QWEQWEQWE"). The selected 
font should stay the last known good font.

This bug is being marked EXPIRED as it has seen no activity in a very long time.

If you think that the issue reported might still be relevant, please test with a recent release of SeaMonkey and if the problem persists feel free to re-open the report. Thank you.

Bulk reopening incorrectly expired bugs - no activity does not constitute no bug - these need proper checking.
