I'm using build 1999052308 on Win98. Georgia font is *not* installed on my system. Therefore, the third heading on the page should be in some serif font (Times New Roman by default), but in Mozilla it seems to be Verdana. The problem is identical in viewer and apprunner. Might be related (or even duplicate) to #582, #4235 and/or #5861.

The correct font name information is hitting the font code. The font system is returning the wrong font. Who owns font code these days? Assigning to intl folks as a best guess.

The problem is still there on M10 Apprunner / WinNT4+SP5. (Although the third heading is now Arial instead of Verdana.) #582 and #5861 aren't obviously related, after all.

Post-beta, per bobj/erik.
Moving all M16s to M17. Please make comments if you disagree.

Prioritizing my bugs. This one is now M19.

I cannot see the problem anymore on build 2000-07-29-08 (WinNT4 SP6a). I'll still test on Win98 before marking Worksforme.
Yep, the 2000-07-29-08 build is fine on Win98 too. Marking Resolved/Worksforme.
