354349 - If the first font isn't found, secondary fonts don't seem to be used

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 352174

(Core :: Graphics, defect)

Description

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20060926 Minefield/3.0a1

If two fonts are specified in CSS rules, say p { font-family: Helvetica, Arial; } and the first font isn't found, the second font isn't used.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Load the testcase. NB: This testcase assumes you don't have a font installed titled "SomeNoneExistentFont".

The same behavior can be observed when using a <font> tag like: <font face="Helvetica,Arial">text</font>.

Pretty sure this is a regression from bug 339513.

This bug may depend on that bug, but I don't think it's a duplicate.

This is a dup of bug 352174.

Because we are not checking whether the font is existing on the system. Pango uses the similar font by its logic if it cannot find the specified font. And we have similar problem, we cannot resolve the alias of font family. They will be fixed by bug 352174 in all platforms.

Masayuki, the testcase above still doesn't pass. Should this bug be reopened?

Testcase passes for me in Windows, I guess something could still be wrong on Linux....

Right, but the current bug is caused by the bug of my patch.
So, it's another bug. I'll file a new bug and CC you.
