53402 - Default Warpzilla fonts are not good selections.

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Preferences, defect, P3)

Description

[Barry Marshall]

Tested with Warpzilla nightly build 0919 on WSeB base with Scitech DD 
on TP770X.

Warpzilla's basic font selection for both monospace and proportional 
fonts is Arial.  The problem is that Arial doesn't have a very good 
Bold setting, so rending can be really bad.  It's also a proportional 
font, so it shouldn't be the default for monospace.

Netscape/2 4.61 uses Times Roman 10 for proportional and Courier 10 for 
monospace.

Attachment: A good os2pref.js - the other one was totally wrong

This fix for this was to check in a new os2pref.js. While the fonts don't 
actually work yet (almost) they are now defaulting correctly.

We took this bug as only applying to the default font in prefs since we have 
other bugs for the font problems.

Yeah, that's all I was driving at.  I'll look at tonight's nightly to confirm.

This won't be in the nightly I just uploaded. It should be in the next one.

Yup, everything is much better now.  Closing.

resolved bugs should be marked verified, not closed. we should only close when
we've shipped. i know this sounds confusing --see bug 31738 for details.
