Guess what? They all render identically, with the same problems I previously mentioned.

I stand by what I previously said.


Bluefang, thank you for taking time with this.
but... your screen shot and mine look nothing alike.
the 2 url amperstands i have should not cause the renderings i'm getting, assuming you've looked at the screenshots i've uploaded.

thanks again,
LandisReed.

Have you tried looking at http://kb.mozillazine.org/Websites_look_wrong ?

Have you tried safe-mode or a new profile?

I believe it's more of a font problem. Just took a quick look at the third site and saw the Helvetica font mentioned in the css declarations, which is known to have problems in Linux (and that's the platform we're using), and for that reason is not included in the web core fonts packages across the various distributions.
I don't see the problem described, maybe because I have some font installed (probably the Liberation set) which supersedes Helvetica or some other type of hack. This very problem is very commonly seen when opening MS Office 2003 PowerPoint presentations in OpenOffice in Linux, since PP2003 defaulted to Helvetica!

XF,
'I believe it's more of a font problem. Just took a quick look at the third site and saw the Helvetica font mentioned in the css declarations, which is known to have problems in Linux'

i'm going to try removing all reff's to helvetica right now.
i've always thought that was the best design font to use and was just recently trying to figure out what the most common font (installed by default on the majority of systems) was.. it sure does not seem to be helvetica....
i'm beating you're right as this is the Only Linux system i have helvetica installed on, hmmmm.
