Which are pages view badly?

Could you try and reproduce with SeaMonkey v2.0a1 ?

Comment 2

[Tyler Downer [He/Him]]

Are you sure you have that font installed on your computer?

Comment 3

[thuva]

yes, I have already installed those fonts in my PC. The web-pages can be open successfully with IE and Firefox but not with sea monkey.

It is very unlikely that SM v1.1.x will get such fixes.

Can you try and reproduce with SeaMonkey v2.0a2 or 2.0a3pre ? (Not stable enough for everyone's daily use yet).

Which are pages displayed incorrectly?

Reporter (thuva): It would help if you could mention one or more examples of such "unreadable" web pages, and possibly mention the most exemplary of them in the "URL" field at the top of this bug.
